Tempest Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 24,242. This is my first time playing Tetris in ages (probably since the Gameboy version back in 1989). Tetris was never my best game so I think this is the best I'm going to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Here's a tip guys. Don't start at level 0. Start at 5, 7 or 9. Tetrises are worth more at higher speeds and you can clear a bunch of lines before moving on to the next level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I prefer starting at level 16. [by holding A when pressing start to add 10 to the level] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[by holding A when pressing start to add 10 to the level] I'm talking to those who aren't even hitting 70k. Level 18 speed (levels 16-18 are all the same speed) would be too fast. I usually start at level 9 myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 but still though just sayin'... plus -- even for someone not hitting 70k it's a good way to play if you want to improve quickly when I discovered how to start at Levels 10-19 I got better fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Here's my highest so far. I doubt I can do any better. 277442 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
