Tetris, who isn't familiar with Tetris? I owned the original Game Boy once upon a time so naturally I had the game that started the craze. But I have a secret to share. I wasn't really a fan. It was okay, but I seemed utterly immune to its spell. Really, I'm not much of a puzzle game fan. Oh sure, I like puzzles that are worked into other games, like platforming games or adventures and such, but pure puzzle games have never attracted me that much.
But I really do wish I'd bought Tetrisphere.
I rented Tetrisphere numerous times for my N64 but I never bought it. I thought about buying it, but never got around to actually buying it. When enough time passed that the game had become all but impossible to find, I regretted not buying it. While the original Tetris didn't do much for me, and I can say the same of all the puzzlers inspired by Tetris, Tetrisphere was different. It mesmerized me. It even had a really good techo/trance soundtrack. Now, many years later, the game still pops into my mind and I hold out hope that it will hit the Wii's Virtual Console.
I still wonder why I never purchased this game when I'd had the chance.
