Tetris in Terminal

You can play Tetris right in your terminal command window! Best part, its built in already and you just have to access it! This is a side feature Apple put in just for the fun of it and serves no real purpose, it's also great for new users to feel special and use terminal.

Here are the steps:
(tested on Leopard only)
1) On your top bar hit "Go" or open spotlight and search terminal (skip to 5)
3) Open Utilities (shift + cmd + U)
4) Open Terminal
5) type "emacs"; click enter
6) Press [esc] + [x] at the same time
7) Type "tetris"
8) Play Tetris

Instructions for game: Use the arrow keys to move and rotate the blocks, and press the space to speed it up.

Yep the selection emacs ships with is more than tetris.
And those work on any version of OS X that ships with emacs.. some fun I used to have with 10.3 when they didn't like anyone play any games at work
