With SP's, I got a AGS 101 model that had a cracked screen and changed out the housing a put in a new lens, it didn't cost too much around $35 all up with the better backlit model.

another option is to get a gameboy pocket and put in a standard backlight. the GB pocket's screen is clean with no blur. Meka's idea is cheaper though. a gbsp can be found just about anywhere, and broken ones can be fixed up for cheap.

Tetris: The Grand Master 3 is definitely the "best," in my opinion. If you're a tetris nut (like me) and you haven't played it, you seriously should find a way to spend some time with it! There's also an excellent homebrewn TGM3 port on the DS for folks with a flash cart.

I still love all the different versions, though. Every time I'm in an arcade I can't help but sit down in front of atari tetris, hehe.

edit: ah, BlueBMW! I had forgotten all about that CD-i version. I always wanted to play it but have never had the chance... thanks for bringing it back onto my radar :)

The Next Tetris on the Nuon is.... way overpriced and not that good lol.

Now one I did kind of like, though not tetris in the traditional sense, was Tetrisphere on N64... that was a good twist!

I have never played these "Grandmaster" iterations you speak of.

I AM HAPPY. I HAVE NEW TETRIS ADVENTURES TO BE EXPERIENCED.

Ok, tetris DX is playable on any gameboy, it's on a black cart.

It adds a score system (and a power level), improved 2 player, but crucially, it fixes a minor niggle in the original  that the blocks are less sticky when they land.  If you're serious about tetris, you realise how important this is.  The original wasn't broken, but this little tweek brings DX up to perfection.

The original was a 9.5 out of 10 game, and DX is 10/10.  I just wish it had the music from the original.

You know that a whole slew of the new folks think this is a Hybrid SUV or something...

Stickiness...you are referring to the amount of time a piece can still be manipulated before it is "locked" into place? I don't mind when this is incredibly unforgiving . Really.

That said, I'm going to have to pick up DX because I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't played it!
