[comp.sys.apple2] Blockout GS?

macausla@newton.ccs.tuns.ca (Robert MacAusland) (08/13/90)

I was at the local arcade yesterday and I saw a game called BlockOut
by California Dreams (the same people who made Tunnels of Armaggedon).
Is there a GS version available?  If there isn't there should be :-)

In the newest copy of A+/InCider, Programs Plus has a listing for BlockOut
GS, and it costs something like $26.  That's all I know about it (that is 
until I get mine in the mail :-).

It *does* exist- there's a copy at Software, Etc. at our mall here...

..and I'm waiting for pay day... :)

Sure is a GS version. Haven't played it, but I saw it at the local Software
Etc. for 34.95, I think. Looked a lot like 3D Tetris. Anyone played it? Is it
worth the 35 bucks? (probably less at Programs Plus)

Yes there is. I believe California Dreams now distributes its products
through Electronic Arts which may not be a good sign(for us).
