Tetris S (テトリスＳ) is a puzzle game developed by Bullet-Proof Software for the Sega Saturn. It is a variation of Tetris made specifically for the Sega Saturn system, compared to Tetris Plus which was an arcade port. During development it was known as BPS Puzzle, possibly until the Tetris license could be secured.

Gameplay

Compared to other versions of the game within and before this timeframe, Tetris S is a fairly bare-bones Tetris package, containing only a one-player endless mode and a two-player competitive mode (against either a human or a computer opponent). The game is extremely similar to Sega's 1988 arcade version of Tetris, using the Sega rotation scheme and an identical ruleset, albeit with enhanced graphics and sound.
