*Cultris II during the WTF challenge
*F-Tetris in Bastard! mode
*Java Duel Tetris in Nightmare mode

*NullpoMino when using the Tetrevil mode mod (also part of Blitz's mod pack)
*Quadrapassel
*Zeromeaner when using the Eviline randomiser (successor to Tetrevil)

These games have similar gameplay to Tetris but change the piece set, most commonly by adding [[pentomino]]es, but also other larger or smaller polyominoes, or pseudo-polyominoes, or sometimes even quasi-polyominoes.


===Variants===
These games have game play rules inspired by ''Tetris'', such as rotation of shapes to form complete lines, but introduce rule variations that change the game play greatly.
