GAME INFO:
Bloxeed (ブロクシード) is a 1989 arcade puzzle game by Sega based on the gameplay seen in Tetris. It was first released exclusively in Japan on System 18 hardware before Sega ported it to their System C hardware for international release (and was the first System C game to be released).
Bloxeed is an extension of the Tetris formula. The objective remains the same - to clear lines with falling Tetrimino pieces, however Bloxeed expands the ways in which to do so by introducing "Power Blocks" - blocks with letters or numbers printed on them. If a cleared line contains a Power Block, the player is rewarded with 5,000 points and a power-up that allows them to strategically add/remove blocks.
Likely due to complications regarding Tetris licenses in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Bloxeed was not ported to any home platforms, as Sega lacked a license in order to do so.
Many years later, the game was packaged with Tetris and Flash Point in Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 28: Tetris Collection. Both the System 18 and System C versions were included, along with a System 16 version.
GAME RECORDING INFO:
The game has been integer scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio (display aspect ratio, not internal resolution). And captured using a filter that simulates the image of a CRT monitor. I also use a image of arcade machines as a bezel above the game, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
