Jagtris (MS DOS)

Jagtris (1998) is an interesting puzzle game for MS DOS. The game is like Tetris, the twist being that you are to tile match instead of clear lines. This game is more similar to Puyo Puyo than Tetris, yet it sports a Tetris clone-style name. Surprisingly, the game is compatible with USB gamepads. This makes for comfortable play, like a console puzzle game. A fun time killer.
