Pentominos (or as it's more commonly spelled, Pentominoes) is a variant of the game that Tetris was inspired by. The goal is to arrange various five-block pieces into specific rectangle shapes of 60 blocks, of the sizes 6 x 10, 5 x 12, 4 x 15 or 3 x 20. Unlike Tetris, the blocks do not move, so you have as much time as you want to rotate / flip the pieces, try different options, and try again. It works well enough using the mouse. However, note that you may need to press Ctrl-F10 to manually lock the mouse in DOSBox or the game may not detect your mouse. Also the game is available in both English and French.
