Gameplay

Super Tetris is a game in which two players can play with each other in competitive, cooperative or head-to-head modes. Super Tetris adds bombs, which replace regular squares in pieces and explode when the row is filled and removed, to standard Tetris gameplay.

Reception

Michael S. Lasky reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Tetris has made it to number five and is aptly named, because this Tetris is Super indeed."

Frank O'Connor for Computer and Video Games complimented the addition of bombs, but complained that the game was too similar to the original.
