That's weird that the program would add rows to the second player while you remove multiple rows on your side.Probably just something as simple as a + or - somewhere in the program.You would have to make player one the novice player side, to even out the fun.

I remember a Tetris-like arcade machine which included power-ups and the two-player mode would add junk rows to one side when the other made a combination play. Actually, I think some licensed versions of Tetris do that as well.

Any two player version does. That's what the two player mode is all about.

No, no. I guess I wasn't clear. The game added rows to either player if the other player removed multiple rows at one time. We even switched sides to make sure and tested it by alternating playing poorly vs. well. I think it was a slippery slope thing. If you're doing well, not only are you doing well, but your making it harder for your opponent to do well. I don't think it was a bug at all, but rather part of the design. I may have made it sound like a bug because we weren't sure when it happened. Since we had no instructions and it isn't covered at Gamefaqs.com, I was talking about it like, I dunno, some kind of black box behavior.. We know that it happens, we're pretty certain it's supposed to happen, we just weren't sure what we were doing to cause it to happen.

Peter Trauner wrote Tetris as evidence that it was possible to make a Tetris game for the Channel F after finding my competition...

 

He wasn't really interested in recieveing the prize (complete set of SABA carts).

 

After a while he got bored with my demands and stopped working on it, the last version I got from him has other scoring and more digits for the score.

 

So... the competition is still on:

Me, myself has done a whole lot of work on Blackbirds Channel F Pac-man, trying to make it more true to the original. Latest binary can be found here:

Exactly. From what I recall from playing 2-player Tetris, that always happened.

 

This Tetris port plays very nice. I had a good time playing the single-player version (which you can now launch immediately btw).

 

Fredric, that Pac-man port is soooo solid! Never thought the Channel F could handle a game like this! Very good indeed!

Just tried this one too!
