+therealbountybob Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Easy: Actris 2.1 Fortress is also good. A lot of people rate Warsaw Tetris For 2 players at the same time these two are superb fun Ataritriss II and Dredis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 What trbb says is almost my top 5: - ACTris 2.1 - Warsaw Tetris - Fortress (switch off KE sounds here!) - Atartris II and number five: - IBM Tetris (thanks to changing background pics!) But I do not like Dredis (but hey, I always play Tetris alone)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Tigris without any doubt http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=3267 Two doubts, though. No way to change direction of the rotation, no way to accelerate the descent without losing control of the brick (just plain fall by pushing the stick down).

emkay Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Two doubts, though. No way to change direction of the rotation, no way to accelerate the descent without losing control of the brick (just plain fall by pushing the stick down). Those were called game rules Contrary, the game is 100% professional presented. The controls are marvelous fluent. The Bricks move with an ease , giving the feedback of an arcade machine , and the ambient is great and can keep the player hours on the screen. It also is an Atari 8-bit Original ....

baktra Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thetris is very nice, though again I miss choice between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. But it's probably just my obsession. Also rotating bricks with pushing the stick feels somehow unusual. Anyone would favor GETRIS? Seems nice, and the "Revenge of Bozon" tune sounds good. When thinking about TETRIS, I have never written any TETRIS clone for Atari, just one for PC (stealing Atari's color pallette and font).

Also rotating bricks with pushing the stick feels somehow unusual. Just to remind that it's much better to play Thetris (and Rolltris) via keyboard and not joystick. Use keys I,J,K,L and Shift as fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, I should have read the documentation first Is there any chance that a version with selectable rotation direction will be ever released?

MaPa Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) There is always a chance... jut pick up the available source code and "patch" it For the time, here is version with clockwise rotation (in original is anticlockwise). thetris_clockwise.xex Edited January 11, 2018 by MaPa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteym5 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) I have a Tetris game I was done by someone by the name of David Mason did using Basic many years ago. I enhanced it with TurboBasic and custom GTIA graphics mode. Joystick play. Free Download with source included. With the options, can have it play many different styles that I knew about at the time.

_The Doctor__ Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I wonder if we will ever get the Atari Arcade tetris port for realz.... I mean come on... it was done before it could be done again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I did a Tetris game in 1991 called "Tetricize" which introduced the concept of bombs and lasers. I also did a remix of Itay Chamiel's "The Wall" Tetris game by putting it into the ICE CIN 60 color Antic 4 mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do not like Dredis (but hey, I always play Tetris alone)... Yes I forgot about IBM Tetris. In Dredis when one player is out the other carries on, so it's still good for 1 player game and it's sideways on folks! [think Ataritris II is also good for 1 player] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Cool. Great list of Tetris games. I am going to try them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
