Description

Rotating falling blocks in a set way is the aim in this follow-up to Tetris and Welltris, but the concept here is very different. The falling shapes represent parts of people's faces, which must be arranged and rotated to form complete human-looking faces, ideally matching that of a famous person or other face. You can use a paint package to draw a face to import, which each of the 60 faces has appropriate background music. There are 10 difficulty levels and an optional head-to-head mode.

Trivia

Humorous manual errata included on a seperate sheet of paper:

The pictures of George Washington Carver and Frederick Douglass (pp. 8 and 18) were inexplicably reversed. Please do not use their images as references for a U.S. History class.





Faces was one of the earliest (if not the very first) tetris variants to offer simultaneous 2-player competitive play, complete with "penalties" (dumping many blocks on the losing opponent). This is significant because FACES had this feature at least 2 to 3 years before it became popular.
