Tetris is a great game... I even enjoy it more than.... dare I say... Mega Man? *gasps are heard all across the land*

I take Tetris over Maga Man anyday

Mega Man is amazing, but Tetris is my true obsession

My fav is Tetris the Absolute: the Grandmaster 2 Plus

Man, this forum is awesome, even though only a few people are in it. Everyone's favorite things are also my favorite things

I honestly play Tetris more...but I'd never stoop so low as to picking it over Megaman.

...although in all honesty I think I've only beat like one Megaman game on my own.

EDIT: By the way I want to take one of you on Tetrinet 2...just to see how I stand.

Just finished playing some more Tetris DX. I got 1045538 points with 493 lines. Still nothing compared to the scores I got years ago though. =(

I just bought a used version of DX the other day, I love it.
It has the same rotation sytem as Tetris the Grandmaster and it takes a while for the pieces to lock in. This means the scores are huge, especially since level 30 is the highest level and its not really that fast at all. And since you can save your progress and play later, I've been able to get 9,999,999 points. The songs on DX are kinda crappy though, but I like how it speeds up as your peices stack up

Bladegash · « **Reply #5 on:** January 21, 2005, 02:59:04 am »

Yeah, I'd like to max out the lines some day. Too bad it only saves scores though.

Herb · « **Reply #6 on:** January 21, 2005, 07:04:06 am »

Holy crap maxing out the lines could take forever, it would have to be like 9,999 lines i guess. As muchas i love Tetris, i think it would get pretty repetitive to just play he same session for weeks.

but imagine getting like 9,776 lines and then dying.

Tetris was a great game , but i've never gone over 400 lines :oops:

Herb · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2005, 02:53:43 pm »

It is very hard to get over 400 lines in most games

But Tetris DX's top level is only 30 and it is still slow enough to play around with

The Grandmaster series is insane because the level goes up for every piece that is dropped. After 500 pieces, the drop time is instantaneous, and at that point the only way it gets harder is becuase the time it takes for the piece to get locked down is shortened.

btw if anyone knows of a place that has Tetris the grandmaster 2 plus for sale, pleeeez tell me

Bladegash · « **Reply #10 on:** January 26, 2005, 05:19:58 pm »

Isn't that an arcade game? Good luck finding that.

Herb · « **Reply #11 on:** January 26, 2005, 08:31:16 pm »

Yea Im determined to but it somewhere, but i cant even find a japanese site that is selling it

buying it isnt the problem, its finding a place to buy it

haha its funny how the tetris topic is more popular than the megaman themed forum

I want to find Tengen Tetris for the NES. But, due to copyright issues, Tengen (the company) had to scrap all cartridges. From what I heard, there was a versus mode for two players. Two people filling one board at the same time, competing for points, screwing over your partner, it sounded sweet. Very rare, though. Definetly in the top ten of rarest games ever.

Herb · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2005, 03:32:48 pm »

Yea Tetris the absolute: The Grandmaster Plus 2 has that also

the screen is 14 units wide instead of 10

i need it

now

or at least somebody rip it to zinc or MAME

Bladegash · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2005, 07:13:10 pm »

I have Tengen Tetris. =D
