toptenmaterial Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) I'm starting a high score contest for Tetris on the original Game Boy. May be played on the GB, GBC, GBA or Game Boy Player, provided that it is the original version. Emulation is fine. For the purposes of continuity, and to avoid disputes, I'm excluding other versions and ports of Tetris. Now for the fun part: the winner will receive an iPod shuffle in excellent condition, CIB. Shipping will be covered. The contests begins at 12:00 AM this Thurday and ends in exactly 7 days at midnight. Good luck!

I'm going to be using Game Boy Player (not as a competitor, just for fun). I still am on awe that you guys get 100,000+. I usually get up to about level 10 or so (50,000) and that's all the Tetris I can handle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I got about 75k on a casual play today on an old GB color with clunky d-pad. I'll try again on a GBA SP and focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Bah.. was doing so well then my 2 year old starting yanking at it and you know how quickly these things can stack up Scored 118k but man I was on my way beyond that. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 My new high score: 216,977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pong Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I hate that my high score is only 190,000- real console, got about 170 lines and then it moved too slowly for me. Needed something to slow the game down, but that's impossible. atari2600land, you're my Tetris rival!

toptenmaterial Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 And our contest is concluded. Congratulations atari2600land, you have won a iPod shuffle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Oh I didn't know there was a prize Doesn't matter though as I think my last high score was in the low 200k's, definitely less than the current high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was thinking of doing some silly prizes too, such as my coveted hard cover book Playing to Win by Fran Tarkington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
