Tetris PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Tetris?: Yes. Kirpich needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.

Which systems does it run on?: Windows, macOS and Linux.
Is it an emulator?: No. Kirpich is a new engine that loads the original game's data, so no emulator is needed.
