NYET III - The Revenge of the Mutant Stones is a shareware Tetris clone for MS-DOS made by Proline Software and the sequel to NYET II.

The game consists of 7 blocks of 18 levels, in which the aim is to clear a set number of lines. Each level has its own gimmicks.

In addition, through playing the player will earn money which they can use to purchase power-ups, such as the "scanner" showing previews of the next four pieces.

Money

Money is earned as follows:

• Clearing lines:
  • Single = 1
  • Double = 2
  • Triple = 5
  • Tetris = 10
• Clearing levels
• Diamonds:
  • Ruby = 5
  • Emerald = 3
  • Opal = 1
• Special tasks: These appear after clearing a full row of levels. Special tasks are optional and require money to attempt, and clearing a special task will give the player an extra reward.
