Imagine Tetris but in three dimensions and your brain slowly melting into a puddle of confusion. That is Blockout. You drop 3D shapes into a pit and try to line them up, but nothing fits the way you want it to. You rotate pieces on every axis and eventually just start praying. It is visually hypnotic and mentally exhausting in equal measure. If you...

Imagine Tetris went on a sugar binge and had an identity crisis. That’s Zyconix (1992, DOS) in a nutshell. It’s a tile-matching puzzle game where nothing quite behaves how you expect it to, and that’s half the fun. Blocks come in weird shapes, fall in strange ways, and the rules are just shy of being written in invisible ink. But ...
