If Tetris had a story what would it be?

It's a deep commentary on the futility of life, actually. You are trying to build your house- a beautiful, multi-colored house, to raise your family in. But every time you get a solid foundation, that line of blocks disappears. Then, slowly, you realize that you cannot complete the lines and still build. So you eventually, much to your disappointment, start building lines with small holes in them. Perhaps you still try an occasional full line, just to get the strength of your wall high enough- but still, the lines disappear. But with holes in the lines, the wall is slowly piling up... until you fill all the space you have available. At which point, your neighbor walks by and informs you that you have lost, because the one wall you made for your house is poorly constructed and full of holes.
The tetris blocks are crates of food and medicine (basically supplies) for either third world countries, or any place that has been torn by war and poverty. Anyway, you are in a special, facility or room that can teleport objects. In the room, crates (blocks) are dropped in for you to use, and maneuver.
The blocks each have their own chip that allows for teleportation, so that they can be transfered to the affected countries, however their power supply is quite low when they are seperated. Only when the blocks are packed and connected evenly is when the chips can have enough power supply to be teleported. Whatever you do, you must not allow the crates to fill up to the ceiling of the room. if this occurs, it will damage the teleportation rooms structure and will disrupt the power supply. In turn, you will have failed the mission, and thousands of innocent people will either starve or die of disease.

An homage and a critique at the same time. It started with a great idea: All people should be equal, but ultimately became another corrupt government, because: fucking people man! can't trust the bastards. The same can be said about any form of government. There is no ideal form of government. That's how i see it anyway.richd213 said:
You are building the architecture of the Soviet Union. With its typical efficiency it has built seven types of bricks, one for each factory, which do not always fit together. Every time you complete a line it gets hauled off to become part of the next building. Mess up too much and you will be executed. Game Over.
IIRC the N64 Tetris had you building the Seven Wonders of the World. It took forever.

Evil blocks are trying to take over the world and it's up to YOU to stop them by lining them all up which causes them to vaporize. Save the world. Defeat the evil blocks.
Were you thinking of block hole or quarth by any chance?Psycho-Toaster said:

Tetris is a metaphor for life. In the beginning it's easy. You just flow through the early stages and can't wait to get to the part where the real challenge begins. Then the blocks get a little faster. You gotta focus, but it's still nothing you can't handle. Then the blocks start to speed up. You get some holes here and there and it's getting pretty tense, but you can still keep going. Then it goes crazy. You're losing blocks left and right, the music plays faster and faster, there are holes everywhere and you can see your tower coming closer and closer to the roof, but you keep pushing a little further and use the last of your abilities to get just a little better then last time. Or maybe you just can't be bothered anymore and just give up. In any case you fail in the end. You always fail. No one has ever won in tetris. You can be the best tetris player in the world and you're still going to fail eventually.
Sometimes you make accidents along the way and sometimes you're just unlucky and get handed some bad bricks. But you can be the best and the luckiest tetris player in the world and you're still going to fail eventually.
