Breakthru for NES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthru) was a military-themed scrolling shooter, while Breakthru for Game Boy, SNES, and PC (http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/games/breakthru.htm) was a SameGame clone that might appeal to Tetris fans.
Alternate reality games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game) are games that are played in several media at once: mail, phone, e-mail, SMS, web sites, chat, etc. Possibly the most famous ARGs have been the AI game and I Love Bees. For four months in 2002, a group called "cloudmakers" ran an alternate reality game called Lockjaw. But does anybody really remember it? It gets under 1,000 Google hits (http://www.google.com/search?hs=taz&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla_253Aen-US_253Aunofficial&q=lockjaw+arg+OR+_2522reality+game_2522&btnG=Search), compared to 3,400 for the exact title of a random Tetris clone (http://www.google.com/search?hs=daz&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla_253Aen-US_253Aunofficial&q=_2522tetanus+on+drugs_2522&btnG=Search).
Why I mention these will become clear later once I've kicked a few walls (http://pinocchio.jk0.org/lj/Wall_Kick_Explorer.html).
