One of my personal favourites. It doesn't matter how long I play it, I can never get enough of Tetris. Talk about every version (keep it on the NES/Famicom, though) there is. You can also post highscores and stuff or the highest amount of lines you got. My record on Tetris is 196 lines. If you post something, please also refer to which version of the game. ;) Now let's look on how many versions there are. America: Tetris, Tetris 2 and Tetris (Tengen)    Europe: Tetris, Tetris 2 Boxart basically the same as American version. Japan: Tetris, Tetris 2+Bombliss, Tetris Flash    If there are more versions that I just don't know (I know there's a Tetris multicart with SMB and stuff on it, but that's the same version as the first one), feel free to post here. And now discuss. :)

Tetris is an amazing game. Very fun and not easy to master! This game and Puyo Puyo are my Fav puzzle games of all time! What version of Tetris is the best? I enjoyed the Game Boy version most, the Tetris DX one.

I like the NES normal Tetris best.
Everybody says Tengen version is better. I'd like to test it, but don't have it.
I played it on an emulator, but for giving an opinion I'd want to try the original.

Ah Tetris...I love the first NES one. Probably my favorite verison, except there is no multiplayer. The music just sucks you in while trying to form lines. Its a great game.

My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

I like the Tetris game. It's not one of my favourite games, but it's very addictive. If I start playing it, I can't stop. The one for NES is the one I like best. The Tengen version is good too though.
I think the consept of Tetris is just brilliant, pure and brilliant. Yet simple and easy to understand.
Some cool facts about the game (in case you didn't know) is that it was invented by the Russian Alexey Pajitnov in 1985.
Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

I just never could get into Tetris, though I have to give it a thumbs up for spawning a whole bunch of other fun puzzle games, like Bubble Bath Babes, and one I'm currently hooked on for MAME called Cleopatra Fortune. Kind of the same as Tetris, but with an Egyptian theme, and the pieces fall a little more slowly!

I hear a lot about how Tetris is addictive but I never found that. In fact I don't think I've ever played it for more than 15 minutes at a time. It's alright for a bit of fun ever now and then, but I prefer puzzle games with a bit more variety. Something like Lolo or Fire 'n Ice. My favourite version is the Gameboy one ( :P ) but if we're talking NES I would say the Nintendo one is better for one player but Tengen has 2 player so it depends on whether you have a Tetris buddy or not. But yet again I have to say that 2 player Gameboy Tetris is better. 8)

I loved the Game boy version for the signature song. Besides, I just liked playing games on the Game boy. It was big, clunky, and fun to use.

Another cool fact is that Alexey's favorite sport was Tennis, and Tetra (or tetr, i can't remember) means 4 (because of each shape is made of 4 blocks, so he called it Tetris (the is from tennis).

Wow, I didn't know the part with the tennis. Interesting.
4 is τέσσερα in Greek. ;) (speak like "tethera" in English pronunciation I guess)

I like Tetris and everything, seeing as how it inspired pretty much all puzzle games, but I can't say that it either hooks me or pleases me. At one point, I was able to do pretty well on it, but nowadays, I would just keep it to say, "Hey, I have Tetris." It is pretty much a key link in video game history, like Pong, but I don't think I would ever really play it for enjoyment. Unless someone told me to beat a record or something. Then I would enjoy the agony of trying until my trachea bleeds. Owning Tetris just has something about it... like having some sort of underapriciated Acadamy award or something... but playing it for me was just unnessecary brain pain.

Yeah, I've got the NES version, and I'll give it a go every great once and awhile, but I mostly have it to beef up the NES collection.

Man, I suck at this game. I don't think I have the ability to think that fast when it starts speeding up... even slightly. My wiffy rocks at it though. She's gotten the final screen when all characters are on it. I wish I was better at this game, but I'm not. Oh well, I'll rock on Fire 'n Ice when I have puzzle game blues :)

I also particularly enjoyed the GameBoy version of Tetris of all the others I've tried. I'm not the best of players I'm sure, but I don't believe anyone I've ever played against has been able to beat me, so maybe that's why I like it so much. lol. I even went as far as to make my own version for PC, called Electris, but it's been so long since I've worked on it that I'm not even sure if it runs perfectly on WinXP. Last I tried it, the music during gameplay would skip around, and some folks mentioned control problems at times.

I actually remember, that sometimes last year I would turn it to music 3 and use it to relax. Like non-spine-breaking yoga, or Tae-chi while sitting down. Now whenever I play it, I of course do my usual thing and crank When the Levee Breaks for it. And by level 3, the levee does indeed break.
"Goin' down... goin' down now... I'm goin' down..."

Funny! :lol: And just hysterical!  I love what Homer does with Marge's hair, and as usual, he seems to 'treat Bart the worst!'
