Tetrisphere

Product description:

Tetrisphere is a puzzle game released by Nintendo and H2O Entertainment in 1997 for the Nintendo 64. Instead of the classic Tetris experience, where blocks form horizontal lines, Tetrisphere allows players to stack blocks and make lines on a three-dimensional sphere. The goal is to "dismantle" the sphere by strategically creating lines and reaching the underlying core. The game offers various modes, including a versus mode, puzzle challenges, and a survival mode.
