Description of Block Drop program from Softdepia.com:
Block Drop is a very addictive one player PC computer game similar to tetris, but with 49 unique blocks, it is more mentally challenging. It is one of the more interesting variations on the falling blocks game. When things get tough you will need to take your time, so you can easily pause the game to study the layout of the playing field. As blocks fall from the top of the playing field, you must rotate and flip them into position so they fill rows at the bottom. Filled rows are removed and blocks from above fall. Use bombs to blow away blocks that get in your way. If you turn on 'CISCOS CAVE' you will be shown the 'next block', but you will earn half the points while 'CISCOS CAVE' is on. You have a choice of several different block types, the screen shot below shows a simple tile block. If your system has 256+ colors, you can easily switch to beautiful ray-traced granite and marble blocks. If your monitor is only capable of 16 colors, you can still play this game with solid colored blocks.
