"TetrisMaschine is a simple tetris automation. it defictionalises the tetris game: each time the player finishes a line (on the screen), real bricks drop out of the machine (servo motors push them out of their slots). the player of TetrisMaschine becomes a machinist of this game and plays an important role in the cybernectic game-cycle. any machine needs to be replenished from time to time. if the player wants to play more, it is up to him to collect the bricks from the floor and refill the TetrisMaschine." (AND-OR)
