Nyet 3: The Revenge of the Mutant Stones
Description
At it's heart, Nyet 3 is a Tetris clone. It does however add a whole lot of variation to that venerable classic.
The game is divided into 7 sets of 18 levels, and lets the player go through the levels in a set in any order. To beat a level the player usually has to make a given number of rows disappear, much like in any other Tetris clone. The difference is in the levels themselves. Some levels might have invisible blocks, others an indestructable snake that the player have to trap before theres a chance of making a row disappear.
For beating a level, the player receives money, the amount depending on how well they did during gameplay and the difficulty of the level. The money can be used to buy powerups, of which there is a great variety. Some powerups are permanent, such as the monitors previewing the next block. Other powerups are bound to the Function Keys on the keyboard, and can be activated at any time during gameplay. These range from level type specific powerups like the Fork which traps a snake, to general powerups like the Bomb, which destroys the top row of squares. To save the game the player need to buy a powerup as well.

The Good
It was a great variation of the regular tetris. I liked everything about it, although I never got too far, some levels were too difficult. I have to give it to the programmers, the graphics were great! I specially like the Proline intro. Then came the credits by the "Best Boy" Nobby. He did this very creatively showing a set of slides. One of the slides shows the picture of a topless girl on the beach, Supposedly this slide was not meant to be shown, so Nobby turns towards us (the audience) and embarrassingly smiles while turning red... I think this is genius...
The game continues with a chart of several boards, and upon selection, it explains briefly what the board does, moving tiles, disappearing ones, etc. I found them to be very challenging. If I remember correctly, one of the levels has a person laugh at you when you lose! Priceless!
I have all the music, In fact I have used the Proline intro and the Nobby credits as phone ringtones!
The Bad
I don't remember, but I never got far enough to buy items, or if I did, I don't remember.
What I did not like, is that some levels were too difficult to conquer, but this can be that I just did not play the game enough to conquer them.
The Bottom Line
Great Tetris clone with great challenges and graphics to keep you playing for hours... that is until you get laughed at.
