I didn't find it that bad actually. My only problem is that I kept pressing the space bar expecting it to drop the piece.

Actually, first-person Tetris is normal Tetris. This is just messed up. wink

What would be neater is if you were the brick - from the viewpoint of the brick - in 3D.

I've played 3D "Tetris" before and you have a view looking down the pit. Tried both types where its a horizontal only pit and one where its 2D.

Wasn't particularly impressed with it as it was just gimmicky and not that fun to play.

I got tired of the 2d version almost immediately. I still play the 3d version. It's free now, and is available for both linux and that other os...

I use the "out of control" setup.

I actually have the real deal, but it's dead so I play it on the 'puter.

Interesting, but about a minuet of play was all I could stand.

Yeah, it seems most folks hate blockout. I love it, and it's about the only game I play. Most other games bore me...

I've never gotten into 3d cad either, I think 'cos I visualise machines in my head...
