I have the identical problem with Tetris on my Mac IIx using multifinder.
Before I installed multifinder, Tetris worked perfectly on my machine. I have
not had the time to track down what the exact cause is and assumed it was
some sort of incapability with multifinder. BTW I have not tried clicking on
the Options menu as a short term fix.
