DO YOU REMEMBER?
Released by Amstrad CPC developers Bollaware in 1995, Frestris is a variation on the Tetris formula. The gameplay remains the same, but, rather than having a relatively small space to work in, the player is instead given a vast expanse to manage. While that might make it sound easier, completing rows while keeping the well tidy is still a challenge.
Each stage is completed when the quota of lines have been removed and the game throws some random shapes into the playfield at the start of each stage after the first to increase the challenge. Making changes to Tetris is risky, but these modifications work pretty well; games take longer to play but it still gets frenetic when there isn’t much room left to manoeuvre.
