In addition to any commercial versions of Tetris (which cost money),
and existing shareware versions, another possibility is to port one
of the Unix versions. 

There were two different versions appearing in comp.sources.games
recently. One called "tetris", uses its own screen package, and the
other, called "tetrix" uses curses. While I think that "tetris" is
the better implementation, it should be pretty easy to port "tetrix".

I haven't had sufficient motivation to do this myself, yet.
