Tetris Screen Scattering.
So I downloaded and copied Tetris to a floppy, and then to my hard drive, and it runs.
It's the version from Spectrum Holobyte from 1987, the one with the soviet-themed backgrounds.
Anyways, it works, but when I get to the high scores screen, everything is scattered like so:
I tried turning my computers turbo mode off (in my packmate III turbo mode is on by default and makes the computer run at it's advertised speed of 12mhz, turning turbo off, slows it down by half to 6Mhz.)
That didn't work either, the game ran fine, but the high scores were still scattered everywhere.
Is the file maybe corrupted, is there some way to stop this from happening? Etc?

Also, was this transferred from a 5.25" floppy? I've read here that you were having issues with Commander Keen 1 because of a floppy disk problem, so I guess it's worth a shot to try reinstalling Tetris to see if that fixes your problem.
