Incredible as it may seem, this opulent Tetris with SVGA graphics and Soundblaster/GUS music was coded in QBasic. There are quite nice animations when you clear a row, but I had little luck catching them in a screenshot. You can choose to play it Nintendo style or Tengen style, but I haven't discovered any difference between the two. The readme explains it like this:

In my game, TENGEN mode is the following: it takes 30 lines to step up one level (the speed increases 2-times faster), bonuses between each level and the scoring is a little bit different. For the rest, it's exactly the same good old tetris game!

In that same readme, Daphnis Marchand recommends James Prudente's Maxtris; it took me a while to find it, but now you can download it here, too.
