What is the best version of Tetris?
« on: August 11, 2012, 12:34:30 AM »
For me Tetris DX on the Gameboy is close to perfect.  I'd have liked the original music, but everything about it is spot-on!

Nothing quite like an impromptu Tetris challenge if you carry a couple of GB pockets about with you and a link cable.

I actually like the Tengen version on NES the best.

Any 8-bit version, particularly the Tengen one. More importantly, put the TV on mute and run this through your speakers:

In my opinion....

Tetris (Philips CD-i)

This one:


The music and relaxing backgrounds try and sooth and relax you while the dreadful controls and natural challenge of Tetris keep you worked up.  Its a nice clash of feelings.

As others have said, NES Tengen Tetris was great. I really put the most hours in with the original Gameboy version, though. Ha!

I'm gonna go one step further and say that I liked the arcade version of Tetris a lot (Tengen NES was modeled on the arcade version, IIRC). However, I didn't get to play it nearly as much as I wanted to.

Tengen Tetris (arcade version or NES version).

The version I played the most is on Virtual Boy.
