NEW INFORMATION! As you may have noticed, Windows Vista doesn't support classic DOS-based games like Blocks from Hell. If you still want to get your fix, you can run Blocks within DOSBox, a nifty (and free) program that lets you run old DOS software in a window.

Yep, Blocks from HELL, my own personal T*tris clone.

Blocks from HELL was written during my second year in the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Sciences (see my bio page for more info). It was created out of the combined desire to make the ultimate version of T*tris and to find something to do with my spare time.

Just listen to these satisfied users:

• "This program really bites!" - steve.gibson@morebbs.com
• "Blocks from HELL has ruined my life." - jameswm438@aol.com
• "I liked it alot but I am now sick of it" - Eli Miller
• "Unfortunately, this game is taking away from my social life." - Scott Fenton
• "It's pretty good" - D92SJC@CAUSEWAY.infc.ulst.ac.uk
• "I think it shrinks your brain - at least mine has shrunk since I started playing it." - Laszlo Gaspar

System Requirements: A 286 or better PC-compatible with VGA (or better) graphics. A color monitor is recommended.

New in version 1.5:

• Rare but nasty keyboard bug fixed
• More polite keyboard and timer access
• More accurate game background
• Fancier High Score screen
• Added new key support; numpad-0 and <pause>
• Fixed minor Win95 keyboard glitch
• Cleared keyboard buffer before entering high score
• Lower CPU usage in multitasking environments
• Dropped support for pre-80286 machines
