Welltris (World?, 2 players)

Welltris is a two-player puzzle game released in arcades by Video System Co. in 1991. Created by Alexey Pajitnov, also known for developing Tetris, this title presents players with falling blocks that must be strategically rotated and positioned to clear the playfield. Players use an eight-way joystick to turn the shapes and a button to drop them quickly, aiming to prevent the stack from reaching the top of the screen. The gameplay involves manipulating these descending shapes, which consist of three connected blocks arranged in various configurations. Two players can compete simultaneously on separate screens, adding a layer of challenge as they race against each other to achieve higher scores by clearing lines. The game utilizes a Motorola 68000 processor and Yamaha YM2610 sound chip for its audio. Originally inspired by an earlier computer game released in 1989, Welltris provides a familiar yet distinct puzzle experience for fans of the genre and those seeking a competitive arcade challenge.
