TETRIS MONTH! Puzzle #18: Clear Four Lines in a Row (CONTEST PUZZLE!)

TETRIS MONTH!
PUZZLE #18
CLEAR FOUR LINES IN A ROW

It's my first theme month! And to celebrate, I'm going to do something a little different; mainly, that to start it off, this first week's puzzle is a contest! And the grand prize is your choice of any of the video games mentioned in this puzzle, including the FINAL ANSWER! However, it has to be of a reasonable cost; I don't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for the answer to clue #9 on SNES, after all! (Its downloadable version is fine, however) There will be two winners for this contest: one from the first week's worth of solvers, and one from the final list of solvers after two weeks. In other words, you have two chances if you solve it in the first week, but only one if you wait until the second week. If you don't want any of the games mentioned (or you just don't play video games), you can always ask me to replace the prize with some Tetris-themed merchandise, like Jenga Tetris. Oh, and because this is a contest, there won't be an easier version next week! So without further ado, here are the directions!

Place the Tetris pieces into the three 4x10 rectangles below to form out the answers hinted at by the numbered clues below. It's best to start by answering as many clues as you can and then placing the blocks, but be careful, because every single clue has something to do with video games, so if you don't know much about that subject, you're always free to look up the answers!

Three I-Blocks have already been placed in the grids; fill them out to score a Tetris! Oh, and the letters in those I-Blocks form the FINAL ANSWER: yet another video game!





  1. Early 3DS title that has a mode called "Bombliss Plus": 2 wds.
  2. Controllers for games like Zack & Wiki and Wario Land: Shake It!: 2 wds.
  3. The "Ultimate Musician" from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: 2 wds.
  4. Console that NiGHTS into Dreams... originally appeared on: 2 wds.
  5. Creator and original developer of the Crash Bandicoot series: 2 wds.
  6. Final Fantasy creators who merged with Enix in 2003
  7. The _____ Machine (Sierra puzzle game inspired by Rube Goldberg's contraptions)
  8. The latest installment in this RPG series is subtitled Sticker Star: 2 wds.
  9. Quirky RPG where Giygas is the final boss
  10. 1996 adventure game starring Christopher Lloyd that's a hybrid of live-action and animation
  11. Controversial publisher of the Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk series
  12. Female Tekken fighter who wants to build her own amusement park: 2 wds.
Once you think you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send that and the name of the prize you would like to win to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com before April 19th to be entered in the contest and put your name on the solvers listYou can also use those e-mail addresses to give me feedback and comments on my puzzle or send me the FINAL ANSWER to last week's puzzle (which you can solve here, with an easier version located here). If you want a version of this puzzle you can print out, head below the break for just that!
