Tetris never came with any version of Windows

but there was a BOWEP game pack that had it

It's still one of my favorite games

and if you do a Google search for BOWEP I'm sure it's still out there
somewhere

Apparently there was one in here. Release date 1990.

Windows has not included Tetris since Windows 3.1. If you want Tetris,
you gotta go buy it or find a replacement.

I like Crack Attack:

I've used *all* non-server versions of Windows and Tetris did not come
with any of them...but as mentioned it's included with BOWEP

FWIW: The BOWEP games will run on Windows 3.0 and up

I am sure many decent versions of Tetris can be found with a quick
Google search

So have I, and I'm fairly sure I remember Tetris being included with
some early version of Windows, then it being removed. It might have
even been in a beta, but not in the released version. At the time, the
story was that there was a dispute between Microsoft and the guy who
owned the name "Tetris".

I never saw it with Windows...though I am sure many machines
came with BOWEP

This is the best Tetris I've seen that is almost like the original.

I found these links take a look.

Click below to download BOWEP

Instructions: Click on the link below to install the setup
program. You MUST install into a "disk1" folder in order for the
installation to work correctly . A "c:/bowep\disk1" folder is the
default installation location. Once the setup program has been
installed, it will launch the BOWEP installer automatically.
