Tetrisphere - Nintendo 64 (N64)

Gameplay video of Tetrisphere for Nintendo 64 (N64). This video shows the "Rescue" mode, the last level of the first episode (1-10) and the first level of the second episode (2-1).

In this game, you line up matching Tetris-style pieces from a sphere, which clears them away. Clear enough of the sphere away to release your robot friends from the core of the sphere.

Trivia: Tetrisphere was originally developed as an Atari Jaguar game called Phear. Before it was released however, Nintendo approached the Canadian developer H2O and made them an offer to scrap the Jaguar version and instead make the game exclusively for the N64 system. Nintendo also added the Tetris name to the title: Tetris + Phear = Tetrisphere.

never mind i found out what the game was called. It's Zoop.

[jvgsjeff]

@DSkehan2004: Oh. Zoop wasn't made by Nintendo though.

[DSkehan2004]

@jvgsjeff oh was it made by sega?

[jvgsjeff]

@DSkehan2004: No, Zoop was a third-party game published by Viacom for many systems: SNES, Genesis, PlayStation, Jaguar, and more.

I remember this. It was fun, but I just wanted to pull my hair out when I couldn't get the right pice I needed. XD

Didn't the Atari Jaguar have like SNES graphics? I wonder if they could have done that.

[jvgsjeff]

The Jaguar was quite a bit more powerful than SNES, but not as powerful as N64. So I'm sure this looks much nicer than the Jag version would have looked.

ive always hated tetris and learning shapes. 2 in one makes it worse!

@tgmc012 I know, I wanted this over tetris axis and it would be perfect for 3D.

Best part about this game is the 2-player split screen. I remember the days when me and my pals used to huddle up next to the N64 and play VS mode for days !

Oh, the rivalries that ensued were chaotic. One of the most competitive 2-player games i have ever played :).

I also enjoyed the puzzle mode a lot.

Awesome game with an awesome design idea. I wish i had thought of it :).

U can play this on a N64 emulator called project64, and have a ton of fun on your PC.

Enjoy.
