Block-out
Block-out
Language:
English
Genre:
Tetris
Year:
1989
Publisher:
California Dreams
Rating:
Reviewer: Dos-Games-Online The graphics are excellent for a 1989 game. The movement is very smooth and the gameplay is pleasing to the eyes. The PC Speaker sound is excellent. The physics are well done and the interface is also great. Despite the major changes from traditional Tetris, it still holds true to the simple formula that made Tetris a success. It is generally harder than Tetris due to the 3-D playing structure.
If you're used to Tetris, this game may be a bit confusing at first but it shouldn't take very long to get the hang of it.
If you liked Tetris, Columns, or other similar falling block games, get this one now! If you suck at Tetris, this game may irritate you.

lI ove this one! It really is a study in logic. Simple tetris is not enough. After playing this one the others are simply boring.

Great game. I think it delayed finishing my thesis for 1 month because of this. In the dormitory I stayed for a semester they had commercialized it. Each time you finished a level, you got a different screen (flat fun, 3D mania, etc.)

Classic game! Took me 9 years (!) to get over a 200 000 Out of control score
(203025, beat that!)

This game is awesome! I had this on my old 386 computer we got second hand (thank you previous owner!) and I played it all the time. Iīm surprised the concept hasnīt been replicated in more recent games.
I still play it every now and then.

My alltime favourite game. I played it on my 386 (maybe 486) when I was in university. I have an XP machine at home, so I thought Iīd give it a try, but it doesnīt work. Iīm sharing a monitor with my Mac, so that is probably the cause.

I have seen Blockout in 1990 the first time. And it is always excellent !

Best Game Ever !!!!!!
The real fun is starting from level
9 for Flat Fun
8 for 3d Mania and
6 for Out of Control
and using all 6 keys for rotation

I used to play this DOS game on a 40 MHz 386, and had A LOT of fun!!!
And, today, in 2006, on a s GHz Pentium 4, i rediscovered this game... EXCELLENT!!!! Many times more fun than Tetris...
This game is a must!

I hate tetris (makes me fall in sleep, then i loose :( ) but this is a real funny game, and not so easy as tetris :D PLayed it when I was 12 or so. Great game!

This was the very first game i played on my 4.7MHz XT computer back in 1990.
Itīs a good game - and it plays within windows XP.
