I believe in a thing called Tetris!

I can feel the rythym of the blocks!

Is anyone else here seriously addicted to Tetris? I can't get enough of it! I see blocks in my sleep!

Every once in a while, I'll throw it in and get caught up into a trance. I don't know of any other game where you have to remind yourself to blink.

I don't believe anyone complained about the graphics on that one either...

I am also addicted to tetris.
I used to play it everyday for hours back in my HS dayz.
I found an old win 3.11 version and run it at work, it still runs on XP!

I'd like a better version for GBA than the current one, Tetris Worlds.. it feels sloppy compared to the very well made Nintendo versions.

I remember playing this in class during HS on my TI-85. Too good.

I've been playing the original Gameboy version on my GBA for the past couple months. I've been looking around for another copy so my girlfriend an I can play together, but I can't find it anywhere for less than $10. I've tried ebay, but the final price at the end of the auction + shipping is well over $10. I might just have to suck it up spend the $10 at gamecrazy.

Yeah, just picked up Tetris Worlds for the Xbox and forgot how awesome it is. I've since picked up Tetrisphere and The New Tetris for the N64 - two of the best tetris variations in recent memory.

You are not alone!

I'm more of the Tengen Tetris fan due to the fact that it was the dopest 2-player version that was actually an arcade port! I've managed to come across 3 of them in my lifetime and it's still my favorite. I play Tetris Worlds (Xbox) every once and a while and I'm getting used to it but it seems very cheezy compared to the original version.

I think it'd be nice if that sick Japanese version Tetris: The Grand Master by Arika was released on consoles.. those of you who've seen the video know what I'm talking about.

People are going to kill me for saying this but I always liked Super Puzzle Fighter better especially as a multiplayer game. I know it's a rip-off but it was more fun IMO.

Total agreement with you here. Although I played Tetris to death when it was big in the 80's i bloody love Puzzle Fighter.

Can't remember the name of it, but I had a version for PS1 that had this Mario-looking guy that you had to get to the bottom of the screen before he was crushed. That was a really fun version that's taken up many a night from me.

If you don't know what I mean, here's a pic of what the sequel looked like:
