Enter below ceiling
The majority of games produced prior to 2001 placed new pieces with their top edge touching the ceiling. This also includes Tetris The Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct (2005), as one of the several Guideline exemptions that it received for consistency with previous games in the series.
In Tetris 99 pieces normally spawn below the ceiling, but if the spawn area is blocked they may spawn up to two rows higher.
Enter below solid ceiling
In some games, the ceiling can prevent a piece from rotating. It's common that these games lack wall kicks as well. Classic games with these rules include Tetris (IBM PC) and Tetris (Sega).
