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.
