Which version do you play
What is your high score

I'll have to ask my wife, she plays it every night on my DS. It's mildy infuriating, because she refuses to use the "hold" feature since she only ever played the Gameboy version as a kid. I've tried several times to explain how to use it but she just can't into it. Other than that she's really, really good at it.

>> No.460201

Yeah I like Tetris
I play it a lot
I play Tetris DX mostly
It's 3,590,461/1414 lines.

No screenshot I'm afraid, I really should have.
The way Tetris DX is actually, surviving past 300 lines is not difficult at all and is a matter of not tempting fate by building up Tetrises.

>>460212
Later Tetris games let you put a piece in reserve.
The piece currently falling can be swapped out for your held piece, such as you can hold onto a T-block for when you get a piece you can't place conveniently, or you can hold onto a line block until you are ready to use it.

Me and my g/f played the fuck out of tetris when we first started dating. She's really good at Tetris attack too. I stand no chance aganist her in tetris attack.

I no longer know if I like it or not. I just play it.
Everyday.
GB. Sporadically DX and used to play both Nintendo and Tengen NES before I got a gb pocket a few days back. Rest is shit imo.
300k. Yeah it's nothing.

DX is way easier. I use it as a "training" game. Gimme that score in the 1989 version and we'll talk.

But I only build tetrises. I'm not sure I could rewire myself to play any differently.

>> No.460335

>>460281
No kidding, original Tetris is crazy hard, actually I find fault with it just because the horizontal positioning does not keep up with the descent at higher levels, not unless you can seriously hammer the buttons like insane.
Later tetris games dropped THIS one part in particular for a reason.

>>460287
I know how that is as well, I always build tetrises too and it's a wonder I still got 1414 lines that time.

Well yeah, to make it easier so it would sell more. But ok, maybe the gb version is too hard in that respect, but the dx is ridiculously easy. I mean, if the gb is bad because it is too hard, dx is bad cause it is too easy. It is like the gb version is a rusty ground and dx is an ideal frictionless ground. I guess the NES version is the standard one after all...

The piece should be able to keep up with the player, GB version was too slow in this regard whilst DX was much too lenient.

If I'm not mistaken, Tengen Tetris is supposed to be better than the official NES Tetris anyway.

Don't remember, though it's pretty easy until you reach level 15+. I think I went to a level 40 something at best.

Not sure what my score is, I don't keep track, because I start a new game every time I poop.
I play the basic Android/EA tetris nearly every day. I have become pretty good at it, but this is /vr/ so I will butt out now.

>> No.462031

>>462007
Huh, never bothered much with that game. I liked the general gameplay but I hated the look of the main character too much to play very far. There should have been a character generator. Is it worth it to take another crack at it?

I play the NES version
Hi score is something like 480000 points-190 lines. Quite sure I never got past 500000 points.

Played the DS version quite a bit, but hold and infinite spin made me leave after a while. I like Push though.

BTW: If Street Fighter 2 is the VG equivalent of Chess, what is Tetris?

tetris dx would be perfection if it were not for its horrible music selection

compare it to the gameboy ost (3 tracks). it just falters. DX tried to fit so much that the music lost its minimal feel and charm. nearly distracting, in my opinion

I have the NES version open right now, actually. I use that if I'm at home, but if I'm not I use this online one:

I don't really know what I like about it specifically and there are probably better ones out there but I just stick to this one for some reason.

You mean how you can keep flipping a piece around after it's been placed? Yeah, kinda easy modo. Should be an option to turn that off.
