Geez, I dunno if I can give it to you or not, I mean you didn't even write TETЯIS. Geez!



Oh all right. Correct, the Tengen NES Tetris cover.

The people that got angry obviously being Nintendo, then the players like myself who liked the Tengen version better than the NES one.

why do you like the Tengen version better? Just curious. Never played that version.

Tengen Tetris - NES

Just a hair shy sir.

Tengen was the extra bit of information I needed with Tetris, but since they only made it for NES, just Tengen was enough for me.

It is basically the same as the arcade version. The speed doesn't increase as fast, so it doesn't become impossible at level 19 (190 lines) to the point where you can't even get pieces all the way to one side or the other if you have anything beyond 2 or 3 lines at the bottom. Even if you are just putting pieces anywhere at that point, your game is going to be over in the next 5-10 seconds if you make it to level 19 no matter what you do. I think the best I ever got on the Nintendo version was either 189 or 192 lines one time that I was completely in the zone. I have a polaroid somewhere that I took. But normally I only made it to level 15 or 16. It always annoyed me since you usually play puzzle games to exercise your mind, not get frustrated. The inability to move your piece all the way to one side or the other if you have more than a few lines at the bottom just seems cheap to me.

My friend had the Tengen version back then, and I managed to pick up one last year for a decent price. I suppose the Nintendo version is fine if you just want to play shorter games for score, but the Tengen version lets you go for a 'how long can I last' without having a definite wall you will always run into (with the standard game) that ends your game.
