As you might gather from the name, this is a 3D version of Tetris. It's actually a port of an old DOS game called Blockout, which I played a lot, more years ago than I care to remember.

It looks quite difficult, but it's brilliantly designed and very intuitive. I actually found it easier to play than the original Tetris. There are some unobtrusive sound effects.

Or if you'd rather have a copy of Blockout itself, you can get it here. It's a ZIP file, so you'll need a program like WinZip or 7-Zip to unpack it. It runs fine on a modern machine in either a DOSbox or from Windows. The sounds don't play though, at least in Windows XP.

If you're looking for some other older games, the above Home of the Underdogs is the premiere "abandonware" site. It collects games from publishers no longer in business, or who've given their OK to distribute a particular game.
