For those who don't know: Blockout is an old Tetris -clone - it's
speciality is that it's 3D and it's viewed from up.

XBlockout is X version of the old great Blockout.

  IMO tetris just doesn't work in 3D very well. It's very hard to visualize,
and it destroys one of the selling points of basic tetris: Simplicity.

  (Yes, I have played blockout, like a million years ago. Didn't find it
very entertaining.)

Yep, it is - and that's one of the reasons I like this game personally.
Thinking that most people here use to use at least some point of
3D-thinking I guess that someone else could like it also.

	Reminds me of its precursor: Welltris.

	Agree with Warp's comment. Even welltris was not fun, and it should be
simpler than blockout.
