Hello, 

I just stumbled upon something that I do not remember seeing
mentioned here in the past.

I just ran TETRIS with my binary wordsize set to 8-bits, and 
TETRIS behaved very unhappily.  Basically, it got stuck for a
few seconds and then crashed the machine (it basically did a 
ON-C automatically) after doing some very strange stuff on the
display.  Is this a known problem?  Once I set
my wordsize back to 64-bits I had no problems.
