Bloody hilarious. I was almost in stitches when I did my first rotation.

Re: First Person Tetris
#22This reminds me of Tuper Tario Tros, in which you play a version of the NES Mario but have to switch to playing Tetris so you can have blocks to jump on when there are walls/gaps that are too large.

#23Ugh, no straight pieces?
I got one right as my third piece.
Re: First Person Tetris
#24Has anyone seen a tetris implementation from the other first-person perspective? As in, you're the block, looking downwards? Probably far too hard to play, but that is what I was expecting when I hit the link..
Like this http://www.3dtris.de/ ?
Thank you!
I had an old DOS version of this, and haven't been able to find anything that replicated the experience. This is great.

#25http://www.firstpersontetris.com - the no-www gives me a domain squatter page :( way too addicting, btw.
I am getting the squatter page in both cases.. :(
Curious, why you would have had one version work and one would not work.
What could have happened? DNS poisoning, site owned by squatter, or most likely scenario, site is hosted on a low-cost provider, which switches to squatter version when the site gets too much traffic.

If you're relying on straight pieces you're doing it wrong!
Back when I was starting with Tetris I would always try to avoid "holes", i.e. empty spaces that are covered on top. And this leads to the requirement for the straight pieces.
I became much better when I started to accept holes and instead just try to keep the top edge a nice shape compatible with many blocks. The straight pieces become a bit of a nuisance, actually.

The game you're thinking of for DOS was called 'Block-out'. I used to play it on my Dad's computer all the time when I was little. =)

It was indeed. A friend of mine liked it enough to replicate as a Java applet - http://brokout.org/
My site, but his app. Oh and for amusement value note the specs that it was tested against...
Re: First Person Tetris
#30Maybe this should be "second-person tetris" since you rotate with the block. I would expect a first-person tetris to offer either a view from the POV of the blocks downward, or from the base upwards at the blocks headed my way.
