+atari2600land Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My first score: 262,118. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My second score: 339,910. A tip: Hold A and then press start to play on a level you chose +10. I didn't know about it until I wondered how the guy on the YouTube video started on a level higher than 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic R Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'm not so great at original Tetris… I think I've gotten too used to quick drops, hold pieces, and the ghost placement! here's my first go: 38,239 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asponge Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 52,380 I was never a very good Tetris player. This is probably my highest score ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
