It's time this gets settled once and for all

...

...

I feel like I've seen one where the tetrominones are contorted ladies, but I can't remember how they deal with vanishing lines so that might be a false memory.

You know that looks like a sangheli or whatever they are called
and dem they are attractive.

Puyo Puyo a shit, by the way.

this is so off model it pains me.

Oh hey troutsworth

How is Tetris on Game Boy?

That's the classic. Go play it.

Yeah NDS_TGM. That one's good, but it's not entirely accurate to the originals, notably, there's no grade system, and no Cool! system in the case of TGM3 mode. It got C&D'd too. I normally play NullPoMino, or emulated TGM2 for those. I suck bad at them too.

That one's got some amusing alternate game modes but I'm not into the current Tetris guideline style games. Also it got scrapped in favour of that gimped Ubisoft one, thank god for freeShop.

That isn't Tetris though.

There's a picture like that.

I could only see that being workable in a puzzle mode. Even then, not really.

Eh,i'm sure you could make the pieces into girls or something and have lewd animations play if you complete a line

I remember the computers where I work have some flash version of Tetris on them. It's pretty fun for wasting time tbh.

...

This one

I can see it because of the head/helmet thing or whatever is up there.

It's great. It even came bundled with the game boy.

Nyet 3

This is triggering my inner nodev. It sounds just like the kind of fun thing to lose an afternoon a few days to.

There are two versions for the NES.

Tengen Tetris is best Tetris.

Music 2 is best girl

Superior.

The best ones.

Super Tetris 3 is highly underrated.
I swear I had a usa cartrige, must have been a bootleg if so. Video doesn't show the other music but I'm not making my own just for this thread

The garbage CD-i game managed to have the best soundtrack.

the only correct answer

I'll never understand why all you young whippersnappers have such a huge appetite for cheesy 80's muzak.

Puyo Puyo Tetris switch mode.

...

It's a Tumblr thing, gramps. You wouldn't get it.

Make way! Normalfag tastes coming through!

I never knew you could play with multicolored gooey soy droplets!!! :O

Alternatively NullpoMino with O-spins.

Yes.

I can't hear you over the gurgling sounds of soy and semen. Speak louder pease,

Whoops.

that's pretty fucked up for you to talk about yourself like that,my man

...

Why does it hurt so much

I said louder, not harder.

Holding is for casuals.

OK what the fuck was that? I thought T-spin-triples was awkward. Oh, the other thing missing from NDS_TGM, not that I'm even able to get to the point of triggering it, is the automatic game over for being too slow.

20G piece stacking seriously hasn't clicked for me. I try to mostly play on T.A Death because it demands stricter piece placement than TGM3 where you have the hold box and the addiction of floor kicking which really helps with the I-block. But yeah, I'm terrible.

...

How do you truly get better at Tetris?

For what reason?

In that variant if you set up a container the size of an I-block you can unfold a []-block into that space. In this variant it doesn't unfold.

Practice, specifically a balance between high and low tension practice. Low tension for trying to see patterns and learn to read the next piece, high tension near the top to force yourself to be quicker.

Tetris Worlds for the GBA

Does such a game exist?

The one with Dr. Mario with SNES, or the one with a ranter who hates everything.
Who kept the rights of that game?

A company literally called The Tetris Company owns all the rights to tetris.

Only in the US, doesn't SEGA own it elsewhere?

Trips of truth, entered to post this

Agreed. And solely because it has the most iconic version of the Tetris theme.

TGM series by Arika are widely considered the best versions by Tetris freaks.

3 problems: 1. The distribution of pieces in that one is completely random, meaning you can get a lot of I pieces or a few. So your score depends too much on luck. Newer versions of Tetris are biased towards a more egalitarian distribution (a problem is that the standard demanded by the company since around the year 2000 is that it has to be literally a random sequence of the seven different pieces followed by another and so on, which feels a bit too homogeneous). Another way of dealing with this unfairness would be to keep the distribution highly random while adjusting the score to that, though I've never seen that. (What I mean is a part of your score would consist of automatically getting points for every piece that drops, the lowest for the I-piece, the highest for z and s). 2. Stiff controls make it unplayable at high speed, see the Arika titles for how it should be done. 3. You only see one piece into the future, making it less strategic than newer titles.

The one in the trash, fucking commie game. Although porn tetris is fine.

Shit, now that you reminded me of this it's actually true. I remember a female relative getting this and it was quite enjoyable.

This one.

This one right here. Under-appreciated as fuck.

Trying to tweak score based on the outcome of a bad RNG would be terrible compared to just fixing the RNG. I do like the model of the TGM1&2 which biases against the last couple of pieces, and isn't as complicated as the TGM3 one.

harddrop.com/wiki/TGM_randomizer

It's a combination of insufficient control at higher speeds, inability to play quickly at lower speed, and the limited piece rotation behaviour.

No hold box either.

How about drawing from a bag containing each piece twice, and a rule requiring any two pieces in the sequence that have one piece between them can't be identical or mirror pieces?

That description was pretty vague. Try modelling it in something like Octave, or any programming environment really, and generate data to look at?

Hmm, even without programming anything I just realized that this isn't perfect. I had only thought about close repetition, especially of s and z (three of them in a row are impossible with that), but I forgot droughts. Since this starts from a bag of 14, and one bag can have one type of piece at the beginning of the sequence and the next bag at the end, it really needs some modification to make sure you don't have to wait too long until a piece is repeated in the sequence.

It's relaxing while still having a lot of things going on at once, and has a lot of synthesized sounds.

tetrisconcept.net/threads/randomizer-theory.512/

It's linked from that hardrop article but this entire thread is worth a read because it shows some of the ways older Tetris games have managed to bugger up their RNG. Sometimes subtly, sometimes majorly. That one in GB Tetris where they don't compare the piece type correctly is pretty hilarious. There's other threads in there that might be fun too.

At the other extreme you have Bastard Tetris which deliberately gives you the pieces you don't want.

I remember a "sextris" from… probably the '90s. Some of the pieces were male, some were female. I think the goal in that one was to fit them together so that they're fucking, or at any rate that only the pieces that are fucking would clear.

Without a doubt Tetris DS. Most variety of modes, most fun special modes, and the game just felt the most finished and solid.

Puyo Puyo Tetris isn't bad, but I suck so much dick at Puyo Puyo I can't really enjoy it.

Tetris Worlds for the original Xbox. Cascade ftw

What year is it, reddit?

The girl starts fapping?

Fingering herself.

The push battle mode in Tetris DS was fucking wonderful.

...

I had to search for this ancient thing.

It's no wonder communism fell.

Isn't that Huniepop or whatever it is called?

All the people saying Tengen tetris is wrong. All the pros play the official NES one.

Huniepop is a tile-matching puzzle game but it's still pretty far removed from Tetris, especially when considering it mixes in some visual novel elements between puzzles. There's a lot of games that are Tetris clones thta just have nude graphics in them, a lot of puzzle styles in general have many nude games like that.

Wish

Fuck off bolshevik scum, the superior puzzle game has arrived.

Muh niggas.

Huniepop is a Bejeweled variation with its rules pretty far distanced from Tetris.

Every time I see this video my autism flares a little. You see 4 pieces in advance. It's just dumb.
