After a long boring day at work, what about taking a short break and play some cool tetris game on your Mac terminal? Yes, you hear me right, I am referring to the black, ugly, unglamorous terminal app that you never want to open, and you can play tetris on it. Here’s how:
1. Open up your Finder and go to “Application -> Utilities“. Open the Terminal app.
2. Type
emacs |
You will see a lot of text. If you don’t understand, just ignore it.
![]()
3. Press the ‘escape’ button on your keyboard, follow by ‘X’.
4. Type
tetris |
in lowercase and without the quote and press Enter.
![]()
Use the arrow keys to move the block left/right and the arrow-up key to change shape. Space to drop the block.
Enjoy!

Wow, that is just a disgrace to treat Emacs as nothing more than a Tetris machine.
