3D Tetris

T&E Soft's 1996 puzzle video game 3D Tetris was published by Nintendo. It was released in North America for the Virtual Boy in 1996. Similar to Tetris, players control multiple falling blocks, rotating and positioning them to clear layers in a three-dimensional environment. The game includes a variety of modes and variations, as well as various difficulty settings and levels. 3D wire-frame models are used to render parts of 3D Tetris. A Polygo Block version of the game was supposed to be released in Japanese markets in February 1996, but it never materialized. The game received mostly negative feedback, with critics praising its lack of originality.

3D Tetris, a North American exclusive, changed the standard formula by having you look down into the well as the blocks fell away from you. The fact that you must fill in layers rather than draw lines feels different from standard Tetris, and the game includes 30 different block types, but the spirit of the game you know and love is very well preserved. And, let's be honest, the proliferation of Tetris titles makes purchasing a Virtual Boy to play regular old Tetris seem a little silly, doesn't it? 3D Tetris, on the other hand, is definitely worth investigating.
