Quinn - today's Time Waster

Quinn's key feature is network multiplayer (via the Internet or locally through Bonjour), and there are multiple ways to determine a multiplayer winner: highest total score, highest score reached, longest play time, and most lines-per-minute.
When we checked the list of Quinn servers on the developer's site there were only 2 people playing on the Internet, so you may want to stick to networked Bonjour play with your office mates. If you are looking for strictly Internet-multiplayer Tetris, try Blockles.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

There was also a TetriNET2 but that only connected to a permanent online server. The original allows you to create your own server for LAN or Net play.

I love this game. I play all the time! It is fun to talk to people and get to know them. I've played with people from India to Germany to California. I like it cause you can keep your high scores saved on the server and on the developer's website.
@Steve.....you can have some of those features like adding lines to other players but I don't think you can switch game boards......yet.
I hope more people come in and join us two players.....lol.
My nick is Luckeychild......say hey if you want!
