This is a gameplay video of the first 30 levels of the Arcade version of BlockOut. I don't know how many levels there are (they might as well be infinite, as it was common in that era), and I didn't want to make a boring video, so I stopped it at a reasonable point, a little less than one hour. Of course, if you were entertained and you would like to see more, please just let me know in the comments, and I'll gladly make a sequel video with more levels.

For those who don't know, BlockOut is basically an extension of Tetris to the third dimension: you look at the pit from above, and you can rotate pieces on all the three axes (x, y, z). The catch is that, as you progress through the levels, you are introduced to weird new pieces which are harder and harder to fit. Every 5 levels there also is a timed bonus level.

There are many ports of this game (including one for MS-DOS), not to mention various sequels and remakes (either official or fanmade). It is a fun game which can be challenging, make sure to check it out!
