Yes I wasted many an hour back in my early teens playing Tetris on the original GB! The link-up mode was particularily good especially when you got a four liner!

I think Tetris along with Advance Wars (and Zelda : The Minish Cap currently) have been in my GB slots for long periods of times over the years.

Tetris. The Ultimate killer app since 1989.

I take Tetris DX to work with me every single night. It's amazing how you never get bored with it.

What are peoples' highest scores in lines? My mate's GF beat his previous GF's score that was on his copy the other day, after trying obsessively for about 2 years

Her score was 330 lines

I once got to about 900 and thats not a lie, i'll dig out the copy later but its worth mentioning that this was Tetris DX which seems to be a lot easier after level 30+ than the original. Mind you it could be bollox but i remember being on it for hours totally in the zone competing against my mother (odd i know) for the title. I'm sure i whipped her in the end.

I play it almost every day. ****ing awesome game, very addictive.

997 lines (sooo close to 1000!) on DX for me. Which gave me a score of 1.7m. 8)

Anyone play New Tetris on the n64? Its the only update I've seen that is any good. Making 4x4 squares adds a whole new level.

i've got tetris worlds for the xbox, multiplayer to your own soundtrack is pretty sweet... doesn't quite 'feel' like tetris though.

Pokemon Mini Tetris is worth getting if you can find it. I don't think it ever got a UK release only certain European countries. Its the same game only smaller and the ability to flip to shapes by tapping the Pokemon Mini console.

Bombliss Snes is a great game, it was part of a Tetris Package by Bullet Proof Software.

Trust me, in 2-player it is crazily hypnotic.

I managed 154 lines on the original Gameboy Tetris. I was very pleased with that. After 130 lines things are just too fast for me.

Ever seen those vids of the guys playing the modern versions in the arcade. Some of those brers are insane. Blocks coming down at maximum speed and they can still recover when they **** up. I have to get everything perfect at that point or I'm a gonner.

I've got 4978 lines on Tetris DX!!!
Once you play everyday you realise that it's really frustrating when you can't beat the 1k checkpoint when I normally play. I take a breather as you can save when I reach 1k, 2k, 3k and so on...
For all you Tetris Freaks try level 15 on Tetris Worlds on the GBA that's a nice challenge or try Tetris Grand master in mame for intensity especially the BIG mode!

Also the original Teris on the classic GB was acually harder as you couldn't move the block when it touched the bottom...
My record on that is 279 lines!

Can anyone beat me at Tetris???
