Block'em Sock'em will ship in November, as we're presently busy getting ready for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in mid-October. |
You are The Immortal John Hancock. Use your wits and logic to clear the blocks on each stage! Each level will give you a new challenge and put your critical thinking skills to the test!
You must destroy blocks by throwing the block you are holding. There are two types of blocks: Star Blocks and Solid Blocks.
STAR BLOCKS
Can destroy blocks of any color. John starts with a star block. They change to the color of the first block they come into contact with. If all of the current color blocks are eliminated, John’s block will become a star block.
SOLID BLOCKS
Can only destroy blocks of the same color. In a run of blocks, John’s block will swap colors when a block in a new color is encountered. When John has cleared the number of blocks to reach the goal, the level is complete. The level doors will open to the right of John, and he will run toward the exit.
There are 29 challenging block puzzles to solve, with three skill levels to choose from! Can you solve all of the puzzles?
Features
- Includes 29 unique block puzzles
- Supports TIA, Yamaha, and POKEY audio
- Built-in HOKEY chip to support POKEY audio
- Supports High Score Cart, SaveKey and AtariVox to save High Scores

AtariVox Support
When an AtariVox is plugged into your right 7800 controller port, John will comment on your combos. With an AtariVox or SaveKey connected (as well as other high-score devices), Block'em Sock'em will save the top five scores for each difficulty level, as well as screen alignment settings.
Additional Information
Included with Block'em Sock'em is the game cartridge, full color, 12-page manual, and professionally printed box.
