Yahoo! Towers

Yahoo! Towers is a multiplayer game and a member of the Yahoo! Games network of online computer games. It is a puzzle game involving falling blocks. Games are played competitively amongst human users.

Blocks fall in lines of three blocks; individual blocks are distinguished by one of six colours and an associated character (one for each of Y, A, H, and !, and two for O). Towers differentiates itself from other Tetris-style games via these letters: if Y-A-H-O-O-! is spelt (using two different Os, but in either order), a process knowing as "Yahooing" or "hooing", a player temporarily gains the ability to add blocks to opponents' stacks.

The game retains a small but dedicated following; approximately 200 users are online at any given time. At its peak in the summer of 2001, over 1000 users could be found playing at once. Its decline can be attributed partly to a rampant rise in cheating using various program hacks.
