Aint (Aint Is Not Tetris) is a free software Tetris clone for MS-DOS. It is possibly the first copylefted tetromino game, having been released under version 1 of the GPL.
After version 0.9 it was reworked for EGA systems and renamed EGAint. Later versions of EGAint would include Aint as part of the package.
