Osbo Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I was playing the old school tetris while I was sitting in the thinking seat, and I scored around 100.000 and after I lost the game, there was a screen never saw before, a rocket launch and that was it.

figgler Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah cool eh? There are different screens to be seen as well. In the NES version, the rocket becomes bigger and more advacned based on how many points you get. It's a nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio F Software Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I dont think ive ever made it above the 50K mark on Tetris. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Too bad GB Tetris costs so damn much on ebay... Now I have the name entry music stuck in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compacho Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Too bad GB Tetris costs so damn much on ebay... Now I have the name entry music stuck in my head. Really? It costs alot of money? You talking about just the cartridge or the entire packaged game? Cause I still have my original GB tetris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemaster_ca_2003 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Too bad GB Tetris costs so damn much on ebay... Now I have the name entry music stuck in my head. WTF why does Tetris cost so much it was packed in with every original Game Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 WTF why does Tetris cost so much it was packed in with every original Game Boy. gameboy sales never really took off until Pokemon, by that point, tetris was no longer the pack in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Kat Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 It's too bad my GB Tetris cartridge doesn't save high scores anymore... I don't remember my score.. it probably wasn't very good anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldunko Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I'm pretty sure Tetris on GameBoy didn't have the ability to save highscores. I still have my GB Tetris sticking aquwardly out the top of the GBA on my desk and play it while dropping the cosby kids off at the pool.

Gus Actually if you do even better.. it turns into the Space Shuttle. It's easy to see this screen though. Just play Game B, at Level 9, and the highest height (I think it's 5?). Then all you need to do is clear 25 lines and voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Meh, were it not for physical limitations, I could play Tetris for a day straight without bombing out. Problem is, after the game stops speeding up, you get fewer and fewer 4-longs, and to someone like me who tries for ALL TETRIS line clearing, it's a death sentence. Yeah, Tetris for GB on ebay is like $10/$15. Maybe I'll be able to find one in a real store on the dirt cheap. =_= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF why does Tetris cost so much it was packed in with every original Game Boy. Not really. I got a system-only GB package with no game.Same gray brick, just without a cart. Unless by original you mean the first release. I know bare systems weren't available at launch, though I don't recall when they becamse available.

Atari-Jess Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Actually if you do even better.. it turns into the Space Shuttle. It's actually the soviet Buran Shuttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Basically, people still really like Tetris, so they don't get traded back in as often as other games. Although, with the DS release, and the lack of baqckwards compatability...I'm seeing more Tetris carts in used stores...and the price is coming dow. Still a $10-15 cart though.

Famicoman Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Tetris is always that game to play if you have time to kill. The only downside is the music gets stuck in your head for days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 If you get above 200,000 you don't get a rocket. You get a UFO. At least I think the cap level is 200,000. Figured that out about a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I saw a tetris hand-held in wal-mart after christmas for $20. It was pretty cool it had a big screen (approx 2"x4") and worked pretty good through the holes in the package. I dont really have time for hand-helds though, meaby if I had a long bus/train commute.

Man I'm sure I got over 200k several several times but I can't be sure since it's been years. If this is true I'll eat my hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just double-checked the subject of this thread. I thought it was about the NES version of the game. Not the GB version. My bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I got a few copys of Tetris. And your right, it wasn't packed in with all gameboy's. I got my first gameboy in 89, with Tetris packed in. But I got a second gameboy in 93...I think, and that one had Zelda as a pack in. I loved that game. Then there was SuperGameBoy, it came alone, and the one I got had the big guide thingy and DonkeyKong 94 packed in. The GameBoy Pocket didn't have anything, and none have since then I don't think.
