Been playn' all week.
« on: Fri, 04 December 2020, 09:48:16 »
Personal Best.. Finally broke 1 Milpuntos.. 

The trick is to ignore tetris.

- Turn music in game setting to off
- Make sure battery voltage is High, otherwise there's input lag at high levels.
- Lubricate d-pad for improved input precision.
- Don't count on T-spin @ highs levels

Tetris DX iz bes tetris on gameboy.

- Faster movement
- Softlock
- Color coded blocks

I could do 154 lines on Original Gameboy Tetris. This probably doesn't mean much anymore but I was competing with a friend for weeks and I felt it was so significant I can still remember 30 years later.

I was just reading up on the world record holder there (400+ lines) he says the game it's one of the few Tetris games where the pieces are totally randomised so it's a very luck based thing to try get records on.

My son doesn't like Tetris but he's completely hooked on Mega Drive Columns for some reason.

Were there other rules? start at lvl 0 or lvl 9

/respect Shapey, your record remains unbroken.

You should try playing now with Adult-Level Processing power.

Tetris DMG Gameboy is definitely harder to control, you have to start pressing before the piece even draws to get it to the corners later on.

Damn that was quick.

Uhh the world record peeps start at lvl9 cos you can get a higher score that way but I don't think there's any rule that you have to.

You'd be surprised how much guder' you are as an adult, time to go dig out your ol' DMG,  pre-Covid Nostalgia.

used to beat Tetris DX all the time and get the rocket shop at the end that drops Tetris bits onto Earth with a bunch of fireworks for every subsequent score tier. 
I suck now but I used to be a monster in my super autistic teens when I had all the time in the world to perfect my games.
