Mindform

Mindform is a Serbian falling-block puzzle game from 1993. You assemble the descending elements into the shapes the game asks for and destroy the surplus, so it needs a little forward planning on top of the usual quick hands, which sets it apart from purely reflexive Tetris clones.

It was written by S. Pušica and reached players through the Sezam BBS in Belgrade, the main distribution channel for domestic shareware in nineties Serbia. Local variations on falling-block puzzles appeared all over Central and South-Eastern Europe in those years, largely because it was a genre one person could realistically finish alone.
