This may or may not be considered a bug.
The Tetris game does not set a new seed for the random number
generator. With the same random seed in a new Tetris game, the same
shapes will drop -- it is not a "new" game.
A user can work around this by calling (random t), before starting
Tetris, maybe in the init file.
It is possible that this behaviour exists in other Emacs games as
well, but I haven't examined them.

Thanks, I fixed this (and a few others).
