My Atari Tetris Arcade Game Review - omgwtfbbq?

Great game and always has been IMO. I miss mine but being that it never got played I sold it to another member.

That's the thing about the game. I don't think it's worthy of being in its own cab taking up space in the 'cade. Since I am able to stick it in a Street Fighter cab with a jamma switcher it totally makes sense to me and is now extra special. :D
 
I just popped the NES version into my Playchoice this morning via the NES adapter. Awesome.

The Tengen version or the Ninty version? I have the Tengen version on the VS. It's not that great. Not sure if it's the same as the NES version.
 
I disagree, but whatever. I love Tetris, and will pick another one up someday.

I am at the point here where I can't add anything new to the basement. I'm full. So, if Tetris was alone it wouldn't survive! :)

Just convert your Missile Command to a Tet... Problem solved. Nobody likes playing MC anyway... Right?

I love this Tetris, especially the Atari version... Although it might just be because of the music. Whatever, Tetris rocks.

I still have a Tetris board kicking around here that needs to be repaired and thrown in a cabinet...

My Atari Tetris Dynamo got a dual JAMMA hooked in, so now I can put boards like Mr. Driller 2 and Trog into it and not worry about switching out the CP. But, I've made a second CP for vertical games and I'm making a third 2-player CP to switch out for horizontal 8-way games with 3 buttons each. Dynamos are nice and versatile that way.

I love my Atari Tetris, but I don't like how you can continue your high score from game to game.

I agree. It's a great game but that's the worst thing about it.

I LOVE the videos, look forward to the new ones coming out each week. You do a great job with them...

Quick question.. I would like to do a switcher cab like you did. I have a cheapo cab that needs love and currently has KLAX in it. I'd like to do a double game setup like you have. Who printed your marquee for you, or how did you have it done? Something like that makes the games easy to access, understand and switch between for the common Joe you have over to play games...

I did the art and had it printed at gameongrafix.

Atari Tetris was the very first Tetris and my favorite...too bad they didn't incorporate a true versus mode like on Nintendo Tetris/drmario where your success pushes the opponent up. Also a 2 player co-op mode like tengen. Tetris would have been nice.i wish someone would.hack the roms to add.these features along with a hss kit :)
