Ever seen a game called Blockout? Tetris in 3-D--that is, wireframe blocks
with an X Y and Z axis of rotation... If you are old enough, think of a
Soma cube. The only problem with it is that it's purely wireframe, and thus
pretty damn hard to learn which end is actually pointing down. I would LOVE
to see a real 3D version of Blockout...
