How can I find this tetris clone?
When I was in 8th grade, back in 1991, there was this Tetris clone that I absolutely loved and was never able to find. It had bombs that blew away the blocks. That was it, that one little thing I loved. Does anyone know where I can find a Tetris clone with bombs? Thanks!

Collapse is very similar and can be found on shockwave.com. It's a great game and I like it better than tetris. You can play the demo version which is quite addicting or download the whole game for a small price.

I have an old NES game called Pyramids that IIRC has bombs. It's not a great puzzle game, but an interesting diversion.

The only thing on Home of the Underdogs in the puzzle genre from 1991 that seemed like it could possibly be it is Super Tetris. Here's their description:
I'll check 1992 if you want.
This follow-up to the hugely popular Tetris didn't do as well commercially, but it does offer a lot of neat twists to the falling block concepts: two-player mode, special items such as bombs that can clear away many blocks at once, and much improved graphics. Anyone who loves Tetris will love this game, except perhaps for a handful of purists

I appreciate it Now that mention it... 1990-1991 7th grade, 1991-1992 8th grade, so who knows... but I'm pretty sure we had it from the beginning of the class.
