Squarez Deluxe!

Squarez Deluxe! is a video game in the action genre developed by Adept Software and published by Software Creations originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

Squarez is similar to Tetris in that you must assemble sets of blocks in specific patterns to make them disappear and make room for more blocks (repeating ad infinitum if you're lucky or skilled).

Unlike the vertical action of Tetris, Squarez plays horizontally, and instead of lines you seek to assemble 3x3 squares of blocks (hmm, might as well be called bloxz or something. . . . ). In addition to the regular, non-compromising, though not evil, normal blocks, there are also numerous special blocks, with both beneficial and not-so-beneficial effects.

Many of them are fun especially in two-player mode. I have to warn you that this game is very addictive and the two-player mode is also quite fun. However, there is one design flaw: instead of counting the players' normal points, the game should keep track of games won or something more original, as it's quite boring when the other player loses and you expect the other one to just continue with his.

But never mind, you can always press ESC and start another one (and keep score manually, by the way). So this game is highly recommended.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
