Developer GameCast Entertainment is on a roll with his second entry this year, titled Q-Tetris. And yes, it’s Tetris, but with a twist. This version features both a single-player mode and a two-player mode for head-to-head competition.

Is it a game? Is it a genre? Or perhaps the most classic of all? Well, it’s actually all of the above. Tetris is a timeless game that has its own genre named after itself, and for good reason. It’s addictive, exciting, and rewarding in its simplicity. Stack the falling blocks together in a puzzle-like fashion, brilliant concept.

The Italian MSX wizard GameCast Entertainment must have spotted this and created his own twist on the classic game. With Q-Tetris, where the meaning of the “Q” remains a mystery, you can enjoy a traditional single-player round or go head-to-head in two-player mode. Both exciting, both pure Tetris.

The game Q-Tetris includes a manual in both English and Italian in the package.
