T-Tris

T-Tris is a 1996 homebrew created by German programmer Bastian Schick, one of the pioneering figures of the Lynx's independent development scene: it revisits the already universal formula of fitting falling pieces together to complete lines, without adding too many twists, but with a voiceover that includes a German exclamation — Oh toll! — every time the player achieves something notable. It was distributed with a manual printed on an A4 sheet and a sticker bearing the game's name. Along with its also celebrated Mines 2, it's one of the foundational pieces of the Lynx homebrew scene: few copies circulated at the time, which over time turned it into one of the hardest cartridges for collectors to find.
