	ED`S N64 WEB SITE - Tetrisphere Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The concept of Tetrisphere is to remove Tetris-shaped blocks from the sphere with like-shaped pieces.
		You use the Control Pad to rotate the sphere (sorry, the Control Stick cannot be used), and the A (or Z) button is used to drop pieces and the B button is used to grab and slide (drag) pieces on the sphere.
		Tetrisphere might not be a must-have for everyone, but it's certainly a "must-look." In fact, Tetrisphere may turn out to be one of the best kept secrets on the Nintendo 64.

	Top Secret File: Tetrisphere
		Nintendo thought it wouldn't be too good of an idea to show off their games considering they wouldn't be out for awhile.
		First of all, let's describe the concept: there's this several-layers deep (anywhere from 1 to 8 layers), polygonal sphere in the center of the screen which is made up of Tetris shapes.
		Obviously, the translation from Phear to Tetrisphere wouldn't have meant anything unless there were some gameplay enhancements.

		David and Marty Green, hobby mathematicians and avid Tetrisphere players found out that the game is based on a mathematical impossibility, and set out to enlighten us that what you've been rotating on screen, ain't what it seems.
		But let's assume that the Tetrisphere ball is a true sphere: Imagine a vertical Tetris piece at the center of the screen.
		If you were to move this piece up to the north pole of the globe then down to the left until it was on the left part of the equator then slide it to the right back to your original starting point -- it would now be a horizontal Tetris piece.

		There really is nothing spiritual to learn from "Tetrisphere".
		It's a game to relax by, and a game that parents and children can play together without the parent being bored to tears.

		In this case, the discussion is focusing on one of those different ones: Namely, Tetrisphere.
		While the original Tetris concept had you dropping pieces down into a rectange, trying to make lines, Tetrisphere has you matching up pieces around the outside of a sphere, clearing pieces and working down to the core of the sphere.
		On a related note, as one might imagine, Tetrisphere uses the N64's D-pad for control (as The New Tetris does as well).

		August 13, 1997 - Two years ago, developer H2O planned to redefine the puzzle gaming genre with a Jaguar game called Tetrisphere.
