I first tried to play the Entertainer on a 286. It didn't work. Well, I could take a screenshot, but the pieces just hovered up there with no intention to fall down till I dropped them, and I could only rotate them, not move them vertically. Then I played it on a Pentium 120, where it ran fine. I don't know where the problem was. Considering its age, it seems unlikely that the game requires a 386.
In any case the Entertainer is the Tetris clone with the largest playing field (well seems inappropriate) that I have ever played. It is no less than 22 tiles wide and 27 high. Common wisdom is that a wider well makes the game more difficult, but when you reach such dimensions, this does not hold true anymore. The height does make it more difficult to aim, but the width actually reduces the risk in waiting for the long thin piece to remove four lines at a time.
Be that as it may, the uncommon size of the well, the uncommon presentation style (BTW blocks are not color-coded, their colors are random) makes this an interesting game for every Tetris fan.
