Wordtris

Wordtris is a Tetris offshoot designed by Sergei Utkin, Vyacheslav Tsoy and Armen Sarkissian (who later became President of Armenia) and published by Spectrum HoloByte in 1991 for MS-DOS compatible operating systems.

A port to the Game Boy, by Realtime Associates, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System were released in 1992.

The object of the game is to build words of three letters or more using the tiles that fall from the top of the playing area.

The background pictures (except the title screen) were taken from Spectrum Holobyte's earlier Super Tetris.

David Warhol provided sound engines and musical arrangements for both the Game Boy and SNES versions.
