Whoops! Another Tetris clone...

the wolf · 13 December 2002, 00:44

This can be a bit difficult...
I can't remember the name.
The only thing I remember is the strange music...
A cow-version (?) of Wham's "Last Christmas" (with "mooo" beeeh" and other noises!), the music goes faster and faster when you advance the levels!
Can someone help me and post the game in the zone?
(If it's TOSECized, you can only name the game!)

Thank you!

Sounds like request to me

andreas · 13 December 2002, 12:41

but first he needs the name

Djay · 13 December 2002, 12:46

this needs to be in the "Old Rare Game req/Name The Game Forum"

Sorry!
I supposed this were a request...
However, to prevent the double post, I'll wait someone (RCK?) move this on the right forum...

RCK · 13 December 2002, 20:40

we need the game name first no ?

Ian · 13 December 2002, 20:46

what and then when the name is found we move it back??

Talk about a complete waste of time.

Errr... yes... next time I'll be more careful, I promise!

But, as Ian said, isn't that a waste of time?
Oh, well... don't care. I'll wait a couple of weeks then I'll repost on the other forum...

One year, passed, in vain.
No one has found this strange game while searching the "Tetrislikethearcade" for Akira?

I can't promise CASH, but I can give out my Barbie collection...

I've been playing this game once (!) at a friend's house in the nineties on an Amiga in Germany. Actually it was the way I got introduced to „Last Christmas“. The tune immediately stuck into my head. Little did I know it would stay there forever. I am trying to find out which game it was ever since.

Describing it as a cow version made me laugh. I would have said: The version where they exchanged the lyrics with „bom bom … bom bom bom bom bom …“.

I remember blocks and bright colors. And maybe (but just maybe) a two player mode. Nothing really helpful for finding a Tetris clone.

Waiting for 15 years is a long time and I am sorry that you had to endure that. But maybe I am in luck. Today a little more than 18 years have passed since the last post. Have you ever been successful in finding out, the_wolf?

To solve a decades long mystery, the game is:

Tetris (1990-02-18)(Anselm Hook)[Shieldsoft PD - PD-Soft][inc. source code, ASM68k]

Sadly you can only listen to the music, while you are playing and the music can't be ripped by easy means, it even speeds up as you are solving the levels.
The game itself is more like puzzle game. The order of the blocks is always the same, so it's just a matter of memorizing the solution.
