About this game

Flash Point is an arcade puzzle game by Sega based on Tetris. Instead of building freely from an empty playfield, players tackle pre-designed formations and must clear the specified highlighted blocks.

The game follows a familiar fail condition: play ends when the blocks reach the top of the screen. Flash Point was later re-released in its original form as part of Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 28: Tetris Collection, which also included a previously unreleased Sega Mega Drive version.
