I've seen one game that takes the "Tetris" play mechanic to another order of magnitude.. it's called "Valgus ^2", or "Valgus Squared"... Valgus was an Atari ST clone of Tetris, and Valgus Squared is a complete takeoff on the idea.. The blocks come in from all four directions, and the object is no longer to simply make lines from the falling shapes, but to make complete squares in the middle... I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to send UUEncoded files from Portal, eh...? :) BobR
