Quinn - today's Time Waster
Quinn is a free Mac-style Tetris (ever heard of it?) clone with a few tricks up its sleeve. Aside from it's smooth, clean interface, Quinn offers customizable keyboard controls and downloadable custom backgrounds and piece styles.
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.

TetriNET was always the best multiplayer Tetris. Allowed for actual interaction with the other players by doing things like adding lines, swapping game boards, etc. The original coder dropped it but you can still get the files here:

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!
