Yes, it's a Tetris clone. And yes it's much better than the official version. It only has one mode of play, unlike Tetris 2. But if you just want the classic mode, this version is as good as any.

It's indeed a Tetris clone and it's safe to say this game has a mixed opinion. Rebelstar Without a Cause scored it a 5 and said it played better than official version and that if players wanted to played the classic version this game is as good as any. The problem with that though is once you've gone past level 2 you've seen all that the game has to offer already and repetition and boredom kicks in quickly afterwards, or at least it does 27 years on and when you're now in your 50s like I am. Meanwhile Alessandro Grussu gave it a 2 and said there was no reason for preferring this to the official version. The problem with that though is the official version by Mirrorsoft was shite because the background interjects with the blocks in play and the drop button was hypersensitive. So, how does this rank for me? Well basically as a Tetris game it does the job, it plays favourable to the arcade version, it's responsive and the drop feature works well, unlike the Mirrorsoft version. Like I said though repetition and boredom does kick in and after completing five levels my work was done. But it is a very decent Tetris game and in turn a decent magazine covergame as well. Certainly one of the better Tetris clones to try on the Speccy.
