Quadroid
I'm trying to find an old Tetris game I remember playing years ago. I remember it was on floppy disk - long before cd roms became popular. So it must have been... late 80s\early 90s?
I remember it wasn't actually called 'Tetris', but a varient on the word 'Tetris'. There are a lot of Tetris games out there, but I remember 4 distinct levels, each designed to wreck your carefully placed bricks, which I'm hoping will jog someone's memory. The levels I remember are (in no particular order):
Does this ring a bell with anyone? |

Quadroid?
Is it Quadroid (1993) I ran into it surfing the net and found it on an old roms site but I'm not sure that is the answer because everything I have suggested that an unknown game is a different game I have always been wrong. But it's a suggestion none the less.

Quadroid
I don't remember it being so colourful. Especially the backgrounds. But the gameplay is so familiar. The extra lines appearing... starting with blocks placed like a pyramid with spaces... a quad tile at each end... pieces floating to the top (which seems familiar, now I see it again). Also, the way "Lines Left" is written seems familiar. At the moment, I can't get past Level 6. I need to practice at it more, to get to the later levels (hopefully, those mentioned above), but I think this could be it. Thanks Willcaleb. |

The version I link to is shareware. When I quit the game, it tells me it's shareware, and I should pay $10 for it.
If a full version should be found, and it really is abandoned now, I would like to review it. |
