(Wait, isometric is with left/right axes. I think I meant that other projection.)

I used to have essentially the same game back in the early 90s.

Isometric graphics already is a step backwards, actually. Not impressed, to be frank. These Flash coding exercises have no chance getting me hooked like the good old BlockOut Amiga version back in the days…

I think it was FRAC; BlockOut looked down a tunnel:

I seem to remember something like this on our Apple 2 GS.

Actually, such a 3D version of Tetris has been around for about 20 years. The original is called “BlockOut” and ran under DOS. There are updated versions around, including “Blockout II”, which runs under all versions of Windows.
