Another fun (for some value of fun) variant is Hell Tetris[0] based on xkcd[1]. 0 - http://www.kongregate.com/games/banthar/hell-tetris 1 - http://xkcd.com/724/

Perhaps more interesting is Hatetris http://qntm.org/files/hatetris/hatetris.html which is programmed to always give you the worst possible piece. Just try to clear a line!

I got 2!

Darn, I was hoping for a perspective from the block itself looking down on the already placed blocks. Second-person tetris then? [on a side note, I really need to learn how to game the front page. 2 year old, minute twist on 30 year old game -> front page. write a new game from scratch -> dustbin]

A dog bites a man, no news. A man bites a dog, news.

Very cool indeed, especially because the concept is not something astonishingly complex.

Check out NightMode and Exsistential Crisis

I consider the latter one to be the crown of this concept.

It looks even better and you have to memorize the structures laid, which makes it more interesting (especially since once you've grasped the original idea, the normal mode is not that hard at all)

It wouldn't be too hard to implement your 1st person tetris because once you rotate to the left, right and upward, simply paint the user a blank screen because the block can no longer see anything. :D
