@dosnostalgic Oh, 😮 like the others, I only knew about Blockout, which is from 1989.

I had no luck trying to find info about these 2 games connection, but while I looked I found 2 interesting things, apparently BadiSoft also made a Pentris game already in 1990 and that there's an authorized open source version of BlockOut ("BlockOut II").

@dosnostalgic I enjoyed this game so much as a kid! (and I'm pretty sure I only had a demo lol). Really nice to see a post about it here :)

@dosnostalgic lol yeah, there's already signs it might go too much into the fantasy direction unfortunately.

But well, let's see, only when the actual thing gets released we'll know for sure.

@dosnostalgic Ohh tnx a lot for the info! I did wonder which versions they are.

Tbh as long as they don't go way too crazy exaggerating the actual facts, I'm fine with it. Since these shots only take a few seconds (and the technical aspect isn't the priority) it's normal to not spend much time/money with them, especially if the licencing might've been harder.
