KLOTZ is a game of falling pieces similar to TETRIS for use under Microsoft Windows. Why yet another version of TETRIS? The first reason simply was the wish to have my very own version of this game, as everyone else seems to have. At the CeBit in Hannover here in Germany most booths had some equipment showing falling colored pieces, somehow. In the middle of 1989 a flood of tetris clones started to show up on usenet. A second reason to implement it was to have something useful (hah!) to explore the capabilities of Microsoft Windows with. KLOTZ isn’t especially well behaved, so please don’t take it as a model of a conforming Windows application. It makes too much noise; it grabs the focus or pops up a dialog box when it shouldn’t. Its many windows can get confusing. But so what—it’s a game!

Another thing that really makes KLOTZ v3.03 for Win NT enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to KLOTZ v3.03 for Win NT. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
