Bosman v The World: Post Your Tetris Scores!
-
@trugs26 He's emulating it on PC I believe
-
@Mechanoid Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I'm wondering where else can I get the same version of the game? I would also like to play it, but not sure what my options are. For example, this seems like the same version?
Youtube VideoBut it appears not to be on the eShop anymore for PAL regions.

@trugs26 Gotcha. Unfortunately it looks like the GB version of Tetris is no longer available anywhere on any platform since Ubisoft (I think) now holds the license. I could be wrong though, someone with more info about this please chime in.
Also, from a little research, it looks like there were two versions of GB Tetris that came out, 1.0 and 1.1. Not sure of the difference but apparently the 1.0 version has different music
Just sounds wrong huh?
The only options I think now would be either emulation or going hardcore and get the actual cartridge and a gameboy variant that can play original gameboy games (GBA should work). Hope this helps.
-
@Mechanoid Might have to go track down my GBA SP then. Cheers.
-
Yup, any system up til the GBA-SP can run the old GB/GBC carts. You could also use a Super Game Boy for SNES or Game Boy Player for GameCube to TET on the big screen. This is my current setup
-
So after a little more research and comparing my gameplay to the latest BvW, here are the major differences I've found that comprise to make TetrisDX easier.
-
Lock-delay - DX has a wait time after a piece touches ground before it will fully lock in place allowing for the piece to be slid a pretty far distance
-
Auto-scrolling - DX players can just hold left or right on the D-pad and pieces will zip in that direction, no mashing required.
-
Softer RNG - this was Kyle's main stipulation when I asked and I'll take his word on this.
-
EDIT: Points for dropping pieces faster. Almost forgot this little beauty, DX grants essentially free points just for holding down on the D-pad to drop tetrominoes faster. It's not much per piece, about 20 for a full drop, but it adds up.
All this said, I'm still pretty proud of this score.

I've been playing on this site over the weekend. Its no replacement for a real controller but it works pretty well!
-
Well this thread title takes on a new meaning after tonight's stream
-
61,849! I'm getting a tiny bit better, but I still fall apart around the time I hit level 9.
-
My best was 122,653 a month ago.
-
just got my personal high-score of 120,097. I definitely choked near the end since I was double my regular score.
-
oh man this tetris is ruthless.
-
New high. Level 16, 168 lines iirc.
-
Playing during the stream, got a new personal best of 105,843. Next goal: 150k.
-
I still play the DS version but can't get anywhere close to my best score from a few years ago when I also beat the game.
Gonna have to emulate this version tho as my GB is dead :( hope it works with a steam controller too
-
Glad I'm not the only one that's caught the bug. Just started playing this last week and still can't break 70,000. Whole new appreciation for Bossy's mad skillzz.
-
Got my best yesterday, slowly getting better. I will get you Bosman.
-
My improvement in a month. I was sooo close to 300k, the Box was clear and I was at level 17 and doing one's and two's and had one slip of the finger, I Bosman'd.
-
Struggling to pass 400.000.
-
Cue the 400k gif.
