About this game

BlockOut II is a freeware, open-source remake of BlockOut (a Tetris variant puzzler from 1989), with slight improvements to the graphics and sounds and the option to upload the score to an online table.

The gameplay is still the same, where the objective is to move and arrange 3D pieces falling inside a pit seen from above, to create complete layers at the bottom and make them disappear.

The pieces can be rotated on all axis to fit in the nooks and crannies available.

If the layers accumulate and fill all the space to the top, the game is over.

As in the original, the size of the well and the shape of the pieces can be configured in the options menu.

About PC

PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.

Gamevaro tracks Blockout for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Blockout to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1989.

Rarity & condition

No market sales have been tracked yet for Blockout — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
