Years ago, I recall playing a game similar to Tetris where blocks containing one letter each fell into a grid under your control. If the letter completed a word in the grid, that word was removed and points were doled out. When the stacks of letters reached the top, well, game over. I always knew this game as WordTris, but it was played in school – maybe I have the title wrong. After spending some time searching a number of sites, I can only find reference to a game with the same title where the object has more to do with translation and/or typing skills. Does anyone know where I might find a demo, download, or copy for sale of the game I’ve described? Also, Super Tetris would be great, so far I can only find it in a package along with some of the crappier Tetris spinoffs.
The game you describe indeed sounds like Wordtris. I remember reading about it in a Nintendo Power mag a long time ago.
I found it for SNES used for $8 at gamestop and they also have a few copies at ebay.
