Hatris (NES) Review

Hatris NES Boxart

I always look back on Hatris and just wonder what were they thinking when they came up with this. I’m guessing not a lot.

Original NES version of Tetris

It’s obviously inspired by the amazing puzzle classic, Tetris. However it is not a mere shameless rip-off.

Alexey Pajitnov creator of Tetris

The game was designed by Alexey Pajitnov, creator of the original Tetris.

Hatris NES

The game is basically Tetris with hats. Except not as fun. Put the right hats on the same hats and hats go bye-bye. That’s about as exciting as it gets.

Hatris Nintendo entertainment system

Let’s face it; the game is slow, hats are stupid, and nobody will be making any modern sequel/remake/reboot to Hatris ever. Tetris was and still is King among puzzlers, Hatris is more of a jester or the town drunk.

Score: 4 out of 10
