Obsess-O-Matic ist wie "Quattro", "Steinschlag", oder "Tetrix" eine neue Tetris-Variante. Hat noch ein paar neue Optionen wie das vorherzeigen des nächsten Spielsteines und andere Dinge mehr. Leider nur mit einer Steuerung über die Tastatur, aber wenn man ein bißchen damit geübt hat, geht das ganz prima. Zur Funktion: Von oben fallen verschiedene geometrisch geformte Steine langsam nach unten. Ziel ist es, diese Steine so zu drehen, daß sie unten, wenn sie ankommen, eine geschlossene Reihe bilden. eigentlich ganz einfach. Wird mit der Zeit langsam schneller und dadurch schwieriger. Man kann auch schon mit einer höheren Schwierigkeitsstufe anfangen, Viel Spaß!

Obsess-O-Matic is a real-time puzzle game. The object is to fit the falling pieces together to form complete horizontal rows, which will then disappear off the bottom of the board. Once the pieces fill in and reach the top, the game is over. This Game is ShareWare...Please feel free to copy and give it to a friend or put it on any bulletin board.
