Play Pyramid Online

Game Overview

Okay, so Pyramid on the NES is like if Tetris had a weird cousin who only ate triangles. Blocks with jagged edges and odd angles drop from the top, and you’ve got to twist and slide them into place to clear full lines at the bottom. Sounds simple, right? Nope—those angled pieces make it way trickier than you’d think. I kept getting stuck with awkward gaps because nothing fit quite right.

When things get desperate (and they will), you get a few bombs to blow up small sections at the bottom. They’re lifesavers, but use them wisely—once they’re gone, you’re on your own. The pressure builds fast, and before long, you’re sweating as the blocks creep toward the top of the screen. It’s addictive in that "just one more try" kind of way.
