Faces ...Tris III - Dark Jaguar - 11th March 2019

Somehow, I had missed this game.  It is literally called that.  The nerve!

That game looks hard, lining the faces up when you always have two dropping in different lines must get tough fast!

I'm not sure if I remember seeing this game back then, but why the weird name, why not just Facetris or something? I presume there were legal reasons for it, but it's a pretty silly looking name.

Faces ... Tris III. It's got to be the most amazing name ever. Like, reading it aloud with that gap, you KNOW they did it JUST to mess with you.

Looking at the back of the box, they say it's the third game because Tetris was first, Welltris (aka Blockout, similar to Tetris 3-D on the VB) is second, and Faces (...Tris III) is third: https://www.mobygames.com/game/faces-tris-iii/cover-art/gameCoverId,47223/

It is still comically weird though, it'd be interesting to know what they were thinking...

It's apparently actually Alexi Pajitnov's fourth game, as Hatris is third, but Spectrum HoloByte didn't publish that one so they weren't counting it.

I love Welltris to bits.
