It's supported by the MAME emulator; get it from Dave's Classics
(http://www.davesclassics.com/).

The premise of it is that blocks come down on a number of conveyor belts,
and there's a Tetris-style holding bin.. You have to match three blocks of
the same color (well, same shade of grey if for a 82 game), and you can do
it three ways (diagonally, up-down, and left-right). I'm not even sure if it
could be a feasible game on the 82 because of the small screen.
