Dropping & scoring (up to 9!) added. still 17 bytes spare!
There's also a(n unavoidable?) bigjumpback in there that wastes 3.
If I could only make the keyin rtn shorter.

It would be more interesting, and less mangled, for you to post the .asm source instead of a binary hex dump.

Where's the fun in that?
OK you can have a 'u' debug dump for a bit of clarity.
I've improved it slightly; I have 7 spare bytes now, so this doesn't match the previous hexdump.
Note the cunning use of /movsb/ to move through the lines; often copying in place!
also that /bright/=blockchar (8)

; assumes ax=0 ,ss=ds on entry, also that int 10 puts spaces (0x20) to screen area

Actually it also requires ch=0 on entry; fixing that takes another 2 bytes. But I have 6 leftover so it could be done.

Thanks. I saw a demoscene version from a chap in Hungary:
https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=6951
but that only has 6 shapes, no scoring, no dropping, so I thought I'd see if I could do better

Mine is based on James David Chapman's 1999 /tet.asm/ which I'd made smaller a year or 2 back.

More robust version (doesn't rely on ax=0, ch=0 at start, or trailing 0)

Revisited: now a pure 8086 version (previous ones require 186 for push
value; rol reg,num; and pusha/popa)

255 bytes: still 1 long jmp and 4 lots of push pop cx, so maybe a few bytes
still to squeeze out. Oh, scoring is now unrestricted. No sounds or
speedup, just std play with csr keys (and Esc)
