Stones
| Stone | Description |
 |
"Random"
Stone Changes into one of the following stones. The stone changes if he has reached his final position at the bottom of the playing area. This may take some time. |
 |
"20"
Stone If a "20 Stone" is removed the player receives 20 extra points. |
 |
"50"
Stone If a "50 Stone" is removed the player receives 50 extra points. |
 |
"Bomb"
Stone Used to remove a marble stone. |
 |
"Marble"
Stone You can only remove a marble stone if you place an "Bomb Stone" at the left or right side of the marble stone. If other stones are placed at the left and right side of a marble stone this line cannot be removed any more. So be careful if you get marble stones! |

Settings
| Value | Description |
| Colors (needs restart) | Specifies if colors should be used for stones. Since version 2.0 AntiqueTetris has a new design. Colors are always used in this design. This Option just determines if the stones are colored. |
| Sound | Turns on/off sound while playing a game. |
| Key delay | Time in ms (milliseconds) between keystrokes while the user presses a key. This is a AntiqueTetris and not a system setting. |
| Show controls | Determines if the control panel (at the bottom of the screen) is visible or not. If the control panel is not visible you have to enable the "Game keys" option on your device and restart AntiqueTetris (e.g Compaq Aero: Q-Menu: QUtilities -> Game Keys: activate). When using a Pocket PC this setting is not necessary and so not available. |
| Speed | Defines the repeat delay for the controls in the control panel in milliseconds. If you use hardware keys to play games this option has no relevance. When using a Pocket PC this setting is not necessary and so not available. |
Look & Feel
| Value | Description |
| No full screen dialogs | If this option is enabled no full screen dialogs are used under Windows CE 3.0 and Pocket PC's. The dialogs have the original sizes. |
| Show cancel button | Displays a cancel button in dialogs. Since Windows CE 3.0 they are gone and the uses has no chance to discard the changes he has made in an dialog. To avoid this problem just enable this option. |
Key configuration
Using this dialog you can configure which key causes which action. The default settings for Pocket PC's and non-Pocket PC devices differ because the default values are optimized for each device. You can specify which action is executed when the player presses (left combo boxes) and/or releases (right combo boxes) a key.
