What Tetris 2 is

Tetris 2 is a puzzle game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released in 1993. It was published by Bullet-Proof Software. It is available on Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Unlike the original Tetris, Tetris 2 has you clearing the field of blocks in a different way. Each play field starts with different colored dots (in this case black, gray and white), with one of each color flashing. The blocks are made up of the same three colors, and by matching blocks of the same color over the top or to the side of the dot will clear the dot and those blocks from the screen. If you clear a flashing dot, all the corresponding dots of the same color will be cleared. To complete the round just clear the dots, not the blocks themselves.
