interesting. The GB version has been my go-to version for last 20 yrs... that's the one I'm really used to. Actually, my wife just recently clued me in to the fact that the NES version had different music than what she heard coming out of my GB. We pulled up some youtube vids, and I was like "well, I'll be damned..."

I never had a GB back in the day and only ended up with the GB cart in a bundle earlier this year, so I'm not really familiar with that version. Does the drop speed and difficulty really start ramping after level 12 where it gets hard to get pieces to the sides when you have a mess?

Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's the same degree as NES. Or on the same speed-scale or whatever. It's been a while since I've really played a round of HOW-FAR-CAN-I-GET, so maybe I should soon and report back..

The other big factor of Tengen Tetris is it has two player mode.

I only get to use this gimmick once, so name that game!

Also, I just noticed a typo on the cover which has been helpfully corrected for you, but I'll take the misspelled or corrected title. :mrgreen:

Question #180 clue

Post by Hobie-wan »

Obviously the title has been altered, and has been done in 2 ways. Neither of these ways is a terribly obscure method. Also consider the typeface as it is also a clue.
