Game

Kentris, as the name suggests, is a Tetris clone--specifically, it's a Tetris clone made in 1991 by Ken Silverman who would later go on to write Ken's Labyrinth and the Build Engine. It's not all that visually appealing; it has a slow refresh rate and some of the visual effects are rather annoying, like pulsing backgrounds and shifting wells. However, it does feature some interesting effects that you didn't see in homebrews of the early 90s like SVGA support, AdLib music, and something that I've never seen since: a database of players with their winning percentages. There's not much else to say about it other than, it's Kentris!

Music

There is only a limited soundtrack for Kentris, but it adequately does its job. The music is bubbly and light and it adds to the enjoyment of the game.

Ripping

The music is in Ken Silverman's custom KSM format and located in the root path of the installation.
