Tetris

Tetris for the Gameboy could be considered the classic version of the game. This is the version that includes the classic Tetris theme that we all know and love, as well as a couple of other themes. The blocks all have different patterns, so it's easy to tell them apart even in the monochromatic screen of the Gameboy. If you have a Gameboy, Gameboy Color, or Gameboy Advance, there's no real reason why not to get this; it's inexpensive, and will provide you with hours of fun. Tetris never gets old, and continues to be just as addicting as the first time you pick it up and play it.

Works just like it should, unfortunately does not save data, as the battery is dead. But hey, I'd rather record my records on my iPhone anyways.

Works perfectly

Classic game!! I love this game, it is the classic Tetris for the later GameBoy device.

Classic game, just what I expected. Very pleased with this purchase. Would definitely recommend this product to any of my friends.

It's amazing only one other person has bothered writing a review for Tetris, quite possibly the best game of all-time (and *clearly* the best puzzle game of all-time).Well, I don't feel comfortable seeing just ONE other review. Come on people, some of you older folks who grew up with the Game Boy remember Tetris. EVERYONE who owned a Game Boy had this game (because it came with the system, and even if Tetris didn't come with the system, you had the game anyway!)Well, what else can be said about Tetris? It's been said a million times how addicting it is. You just sit there addictingly pushing down on the button, and eliminating a row of blocks. You want to do it over and over and over. It's so much fun that... that... that it REALLY amazes me only one other person bothered sending in a review. Tetris was popular on the NES but I thought for sure the Game Boy version made it the all-time classic it deserves to be.

I can't believe there are no reviews written on what many would consider the greatest puzzle game of all time.As anyone who has ever played the game knows Tetris is an easy game to learn but tough to master. In short different shaped blocks (each with 4 sections) fall from the sky. You must rotate those blocks to form complete lines which then dissolve scoring you points.As you progress through the levels the speed of the decent increases and Tetris truely becomes a game requiring split second decisions and amazing reflexes to prevent your pile of blocks from reaching the top of the screen, which ends the game.While the game is an obvious classic, and pureists without a doubt will want to play the original i would recommend getting tetris dx (probably the best port of Tetris ever made) or tetris worlds. (personally i find tetris alot more entertaining on a portable)If you love tetris but want something a little different the more contemporary games also include many fun variations such as 2 player tetris and the completly unique but also fun Tetris Attack.Trust me, you can't go wrong with tetris if you enjoy a challenge.

I remember finding this game laying by a bus stop on the sidewalk when I was around 10 or so. It didn't have a cover or anything, I guess it'd been scratched off. I didn't own a Gameboy either, so I took it to my friend who owned one, turned it on, and it was Tetris. I got a Gameboy maybe two weeks after that, and I played my free Tetris almost non-stop.I'm 25 years old now, and I own Tetris DS, so yeah..still a fan even to this day. I'd recommend this original version ONLY if you're a retro game collector, anybody else should shoot for the DS version, or even the GBA versions. Either way, GREAT classic game!
