About Zoop

Fast-paced action-puzzle game where the player eliminates colored shapes that are approaching his alter ego, another colored shape, before they reach the top, ala Tetris. In order to eliminate the other shapes, you must point your piece at it and 'fire'. If the shape is the same color as your piece, the shape is eliminated, as well as all of the shapes of the same color behind it, until your piece hits a piece of a different color. If the shape is of a different color, or it is hit when collecting a line of similar shapes, your piece exchanges colors with the shape.

Zoop on Wikipedia

Zoop is a puzzle video game originally developed by Hookstone and published by Viacom New Media in 1995 for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, MS-DOS, Macintosh, PlayStation, Game Gear, and Game Boy, then in 1996 for the Saturn and Jaguar. Zoop has similarities to Taito's 1989 arcade video game Plotting, but Zoop runs in real-time instead. Players are tasked with eliminating pieces that spawn from one of the sides of the screen before they reach the center of the playfield. By pointing at a piece and shooting it, the player can either swap it with the current player color and thus arrange the same color pieces in a row or column, or match the color.

The puzzle game that was on everything, on one more thing.

You control a triangle at the center of the screen, firing at colored shapes advancing from four sides — an unusual central-defense structure rather than a falling stack, genuinely tense at speed, and completely platform-agnostic. Nothing about the Jaguar version distinguishes it, which is the definition of a catalogue entry. Notable mainly as one of the last commercial-era releases, January 1996.
