[Found: Squigs] Looking for a tetris game

darje666 · 11 April 2020, 00:21

Hi, my father used to play this tetris variant like 30 years ago and all I can remember of it is that it had dynamite blocks and very vibrant colors. I'm also not sure was this on my Amiga 500 or Playstation 1.

I know the info is scarce but I was a 6 year old and now I want to give this game to my father for his birthday cause he played it till 4 AM every evening in my room so I still hear those cartoony sounds when he cleared a row

Thanks

Heya darje666,

Welcome to EAB

To be honest I don't remember any "Tetris" game on the Amiga that had dynamite blocks; but my memory could be hazy...

Here are some Tetris / clones on HOL.

I don't think it's this, but I really liked it and played several hours with it ..... Tetrix: The Next Generation

Not exactly a Tetris game but the Cartoony graphics and sounds with vibrant colours and bombs keeps making me think of Dynablaster

Thanks guys but none of the above match I'm afraid. I check the whole list of puzzle games on Lemon Amiga and none of the screenshots match anything like that game. Just gotta keep on digging.

Can anyone tell me the settings for Win UAE that seem to work with this game?
ADF is here https://www.myabandonware.com/game/squigs-6ps#download

I just ran it with a 512k chip 512k slow ram A500 setup with kickstart 1.3

I used the ADF from the tosec set though.
