The problem with Tetris (and minesweeper) is that it is time critical.
In other words, you can't just leave it and come back. Although some
do have an auto-pause feature when the screens swap over. Also, the
versions I've got do slow the compile down quite a bit.
I'm using a card game called Montana which is a sort of patience
thingy, but gets boring after a while.
Thanks for the help though.

Its a financial management package for small to medium sized motels,
B&B's etc.
The executable is about 640K at the moment (and growing).
The source is held in over 300 includes (varying from 100 to 30,000
bytes) and takes up about 2500 blocks on disk. 1.2 Meg???
It's been 5 years in the making and I'm actually using it for running
my motel. There's no chance of it being released commercially since
I simply don't have time to support it. (or document it). But if
someone wants to buy the rights :-)
Thanks for the game thoughts
