and I have to say what a fantastic game it is too, featuring polyphonic sound (an o2 first). and a retrun to just simply great gameplay, very well ballanced.

Holy cow, Ted gave me credit for "manual advice"! And here I thought I was automatic! :D

Awesome - another new game for my O2!

Oh, and before anyone asks - you do NOT need the Voice for the polyphonic music. Ted managed to coax the O2 base console into doing that all by its lonesome - give it a listen, it rocks!

Hey, neat!

So, we've now got homebrewed Tetris games for 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, Vectrex and O2. Any others?

Thanks for the notice! I had forgot all about homebrews on the 02

Don't forget that the site is also offering the Calculator Homebrew.

I'll have to get the game when I have some more cash, I ordered the DVD for now.

If you already had the Calaculator! cart, you could balance your checkbook enough to afford the DVD and Puzzle Piece Panic. ;)

The Channel F. And someone was working on one for the Studio II at some point.

I had a marathon Odyssey2 session tonight and caught up with all the homebrews and repro proto releases of the past few months. Puzzle Piece Panic is just awesome. I'm going to have a proper review up in the next week or so, but it's an awesomely addictive little number, just like any game of Tetris should be.

Stand by, I'll have a review on the way complete with video so you can see and hear it in action.

Here's the review (http://www.thelogbook.com/odyssey/2007/p.htm), and here's the video (http://www.thelogbook.com/odyssey/2007/pvideo.htm). :-D Trust me, O2 folks, this one's a must-get for the ol' library.
