The AnswerMug Games section has clones of other copyrighted games. Why not something similar to Tetris?

It has a ConnectFour clone. I'm pretty sure they copyrighted it, but if the name is changed and whatnot, they're able to use it? I wonder if AnswerMug would look into if it's possible to create a Tetris clone so that Muggers could play it. Not sure if they could go so far as to do the multiplayer version, but if NullpoMino can get away with being a Tetris clone, then AnswerMug should be able to get away with having a Tetris clone too I guess. Not sure. But worth checking out. It's such a classic.

    I wouldn't call it sideways tetris, but it does have interesting mechanics. Tritris is very, very interesting though :D

    OMG Asdjjfjk;dfjg THIS IS THE COOLEST VERSION OF TETRIS I'VE EVER PLAYED
    And I've played a LOT of tetris. 
    This is worth sharing to the Tetris forum.

    The fact you have to control 3 at once. I've been looking for a version like this for a while, actually.

    I just wish it had a hold function for each window, hard dropping function, and SRS system (i.e. T-spins are possible).

    Our games come from a third-party provider, so I don't have a hand in any of the development. Kind of like how Facebook has games from Pyzam and such. However, I will forward your comment on to them and maybe they will make improvements.
