Name that Game

[Reverend]

Xenon 2, megablast, god i loved that game.

Ahh, Ahhh Ahhh yeah...Check this out....Ah yeah.

Yup! And for those too young to know (god I feel old), this is what the best game soundtrack of it's day sounded like.

Bloodwych!

Pacman?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

How in the world does that look like Pac-Man?

 

[Reverend]

^Because if I said what it really is then I'd have to think of another one.

Ok, that's obviously a Tetris-type game, so I'll guess "Tetris". I'll wait in case it's some kind of clone or there's more to the title.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

It's a clone with a title that does not include any variation of "Tetris" in the name.

 

[Timby]

Well, shit, there are about eight thousand of those.

It was released in 1990 for MS-DOS, used text-mode graphics, and had a two-player mode. Does that narrow it down?

HEY! I've only posted games I've actually played!!

 

[captcalhoun]

Blocks?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Blocks?

You're halfway there. The name is: ______ Blocks

Fill in the blank.

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Falling Blocks?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Was there even a game called that?

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Here's a better question, is there a number that defines the amount of Tetris clones, you evil man?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Haha.

I'll throw you guys one more bone: the game can be found on the DOS Museum website. Now it's just a matter of who will bother to look it up fastest.

Double Blocks

Since I blatantly looked it up, I suppose there's no point waiting for a confirmation. I'm hoping this is one people can get without having to look up:

 

[Geck]

Mario is Missing?

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Yep

A truly, truly awful game

 

[Geck]

Aww, it was fun when I was 8.
