Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Best version of Tetris on the market

Well- Owning tetris grand master ace, I can assure you those idiots don't really appreciate difficult tetris. There were other refinements like the ease of sliding blocks in and the flow that holds that other tetris variants don't have.
I really do hate the licensing in the stats and I hope THQ and the tetris company die in a fire for barring TGM in the stats.
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

I mean, sure, a DS is portable, but you can't just whip out a DS in any situation because its obvious what you're doing. Whereas on my phone I could be sending a very important business text message.
The funny part is that TGM Ace is the black sheep of the series and was generally considered a disappointment...yet it's still head and shoulders above most "guideline" (i.e. TTC-sanctioned) games.
Haha totally been in that situation. Sitting in a meeting I can pretend I am checking emails on my iPhone, but really I am squeezing in a few turns at Tetris.
What kind of phone do you play it on?
Nothing special.

I also have Worms on it, as well as some wicked game thats kinda like Arkanoid with a platform along the bottom and you bounce a ball around to kill bricks.
people really do drone in meetings though.
My young mind was BLOWN!
Tetris DS is the reason I bought a DS in the first place. It isn't in there at the moment, but it's never far away <3
Tetris doesn't work very well on the iPod, btw. Something like Breakout is much more suitable.

You can always try out the Facebook version: The Human Tetris Project
It's kinda cool, you put your own face on to a Tetrimino.
If you don't like that link, then try First Person Tetris
Get this, my shit wipes out lines like Tetris
Messes yo head like it got fed asbestos
Blesses me with less debt than Nintendo's investors
Tearing up threads 'bout which Tetris the best is
Relentless, my threats give impressions impressive
Dish pressure like Tetris red segments descendin'
Majestic as towers of tetrad assemblage
Erected for four-block tall pieces expected
Flow on the rhythm of the streets, angular brother.
edit: this is the most terrible totp
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
All day every day, Tetriminos on my mind
Makin' mad rows like a freak of some kind
Staring at the screen with those shapes dropping from the sky
Damn these memories bring me back to junior high
Put your face in the Human Tetris Project and you'll be remembered forever
You're to young kid, this is quite the endeavor
Squiggly, t-shape or even a square
I'm ghostfacekillah so you better beware!

WOW August! Thanks for just absolutely making my day with that video. Holy crap I miss the 80s. Haven't been this nostalgic in a looong time! Got any other Tetris videos to share?
As such, I really like Tetris DS.
What does that mean? Play!

If that just isn't the most hype game of Tetris I've ever seen advertised, I don't know what is. Those kids sound f**king NUTS!
On-topic: I'm surprised there hasn't been any mention of Tetris Party on WiiWare. Sure, it may not have Tetris DS's Mission mode, but in terms of value per dollar, I don't know of anything else that comes close. It'll be interesting to see what the upcoming version, Tetris Party Deluxe, is like when it comes out in June (Wii and DS).
I WILL NOT BE DOING 3DS FOR NWC THREAD. SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO TAKE OVER.

Oh man really! That easily is the most frustrating Tetris game I have seen on the web. Wow.
@Elfantastico--Someone get me a beat and I will keep it going ALL DAY!
@BTP: You think thats old? Try out this one! The ORIGINAL TETRIS commercial
Shit, the end of that commercial reminded me of when they brought out the SNES.
"Now you're playing with power, SUPER POWER"
Tetris for the Gameboy, then Tetris Party for WiiWare are my two favorite versions.

Add me!
Dr. Mario is also an awesome awesome game. The music from the original still rocks, sadly the new tracks on Dr. Mario WiiWare was quite forgettable. I'm not sure which multiplayer game is more fun, probably Tetris but both are great ways to have quick fun online.
It's Tetris Attack for the DS. Tetris Attack with a Stylus? Oh God yes.
Love love love Tetris for Gameboy, but I haven't played it on the Wii. What is the difference?
@El Fantastico this is turning into a great day! I'll bet your room is decorated in Tetris and video game attire! Am I right?
I just entered to win one of these sick Tetris contests from EA Mobile: TETRIS T-Shirts
You all can't tell me I wouldn't look BAD ASS in one of those! Maybe not the square one though haha!

Its Tetris, with one glaring change - every new piece is the statistically worst piece possible. It's freaking infuriating, but addicting too.
High score is like 10 lines cleared or something. The game creator has managed 5. I've managed 2. Then I broke things.
Nothing but squigglies....
Is it possible to get any lines on that XKCD tetris hell game?
Goddamnit, I was just coming here to post this.
I used to have some old Nintendo Power posters and shit. Those were the days.
Now my room is pretty barren save for a signed Neon Genesis Evangelion artpiece (framed). My office in the house has a bunch of posters I picked up from Cons and the like - Warhammer MMO, Champions Online, FFXIII, etc.
Thats pretty sweet. I LOVED getting Nintendo Power. I used to have a subscription to that and Electronic Gaming Monthly (Rest in Peace).
I've got this awesome pillow set for my bed that is different tetrimino shapes. So sweet. Had to put the rest of my video game past in the garage to appease the girlfriend haha...still got the Virtual Boy (ugh) in my closet though haha.
@uean: You just ruined my day with that link. Thank you very much! Easily one of the top 3 most frustrating Tetris games of all time!
6 on my first try, doesn't seem so bad =D
Original and Tetris DS are the best though.
and Operation Flashpoint: Red River code to trade/sell
and Halo: Reach code
and Portal 2 code
Using exactly 99 tetris shapes, build as high of a tower as possible. The game has a physics component which means you can't let the weight distribution go too far to either side or the tower will topple and you'll lose height.
