A new puzzle game

[+atari2600land]

While I'm taking breaks from Jack and the Beanstalk, I got an idea for a new puzzle game. The idea is this: Using Tetris-like blocks, fill in a square. To move the pieces around, use the joystick and to place one, use fire. To start over again, press the reset switch. Can you solve this one? (it is doable.)

Not a bad idea.

 

What would be the limitations of the size of the grid for placeable pieces?

It'd be nine blocks high, I don't know about width. If you want to show all the pieces that go in the puzzle, it wouldn't be very wide, though.

New version with title screen and timer that goes up to 60 minutes. Also added you can't place the pieces on top of other ones. I'll be making more puzzles like the first one in the future.

This is just like Daedalian Opus for Gameboy, and if it's even half as hard, I'll be awful at it.

Added two new puzzles, #2 and #3, to get to them, at the title screen, press the select switch.
