About Block Hole
Konami released this puzzle title in 1989 as an export version of Quarth. Players engage in drop-style gameplay, managing falling blocks to clear patterns and prevent them from filling the screen. The mechanics focus on spatial reasoning and timing to navigate the increasing difficulty of the block-clearing sequences.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.
Open Play on this page to start Block Hole. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
