Pretty cool. Anyone remember TetriNET from the 90s? Similar concept, except there were special pieces mixed in that you could use on opponents or yourself (add line, clear line, quake, etc.)

Yup! I remember the Debian developers would often play it together, I suppose because it was one of a small number of exciting open source multiplayer games which worked on Linux.
IMHO when people discuss networked Tetris, it's now the reference implementation.
