I have Tengen Tetris. =D


Lucky.

Here are two...well...blatantly illegal ways to enjoy Tengen Tetris away from your PC.

First, go to the mall and check those weird independent stands.  You'll find cheap knock-off pirate systems that plug straight into your TV and contain a lot of weird things like HK originals and game hacks.  They almost ALWAYS have Tengen Tetris...not to mention funky names like "Super Player Joystick" or "PSKid."

The second and in my opinion much more enjoyable way is with a copy of NesterDC.  NesterDC is as you probably know an emulator for NES on Sega Dreamcast.

The only reason I bother mentioning these two is because they both offer fairly nice "2-player" options since the pirate systems almost always have a 2nd joystick and Dreamcasts usually come bundled with one too.

And we all know how important 2-player is when it comes to Tengen Tetris's Magnum Opus...COOPERATIVE!

I like tetris, but it does get dull after a bit.

To me, Tetris is like an TV

it never runs out of ways to entertain me

I could understand the dullness of it, but somehow it never loses its polish for me

That's probably a good analogy for you, but TV programming seems to bore me quiet a bit.  Tetris is great fun for me almost always.

But I guess the games I play on the television are pretty entertaining.

I have a better analogy

Tetris does for me what Megaman does for all of us

There are so many variations (sequels), when you finally finish them all, you can start over and still enjoy all of them again!

I tried to relate tetris to sex, but sex doesnt compare. (only kidding.   maybe.   crap)

Tetris has always been one of my favorite games.  Sadly, I no longer have a copy-a guest who stayed in our home for a month or so when I was 12 stole my Game Boy and all my GB games...Tetris included.  :(

My fiancee recently got a used copy...think I may have to borrow it again...yeah, borrow.... :wink:

Tetris is awesome! I've never picked up a variation and said "Aww... Another Tetris game?" I can play Tetris forever.

I have Tetris 2 for the SNES... I might make that my next line-in recording project.  It's got some nice music, and it's fun :)
agerly anticipating:
Super Smash Bros. Revolution, Metroid Prime 3, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and last but not least, DDR SuperNOVA!

Actually, come to think of it, when I went to pick up Mega Man Anniversary Collection, Tetris Worlds for GCN was hanging out next to it, and I had a hard time deciding which to buy. Mega Man won out, of course.

thats good

tetris worlds is only cool for so long (and this is coming from THE BIGGEST tetris fan) i just couldnt enjoy as long as i enjoy TGM or tetris DX. the musics alright i guess, and a lot of the modes are cool, but the timer system and level change isnt too cool

Hey, anyone who liked Tetris should pick up Meteos for the DS, it's not exactly like tetris, but it still kicks the pants out of stabbing your eye. Seriously, buy this game!
