Certified classic that I still play to this day.



I have that on a saved ROM file, so those scores are over an extended period of time. At that point you're at Level 19 or something and it's blazing fast. Hope to someday crack 600,000.

There is a documentary about this game called Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters where several players come together for a competition to see who comes out top dog.

That's cool. I like it when I have high scores in games that I achieved many years ago. Some, I don't think I'll ever beat again.

It's a classic but only by historical standards. I don't think it's that great of a game compared to others from the same time.

I like this version of Tetris better.. You gotta get the dude to the bottom and all the maps start out with blocks already placed.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the music in this game. Music - 1 and Music - 2 are Hall of Fame caliber. For a puzzle game with repetitive (but varied) steps, the music is part of what notches NES Tetris up a few pegs on the Classics Scale. The music could very easily have sucked one off.

Also, something that I think people may not notice is that the NES version has almost no latency between block drops and when getting line clearance/Tetrises. This is important for getting higher scores. I know people who like the SNES version better, but there is lag there that is noticeable. Ergo, the NES version is faster. This was the reason that the NES version was the one they chose for the Tetris movie.
