Makar | 1,946 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Question to which I already know the answer is 99.9999% most likely no. Can I play the tetris.com version and submit my high score from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I cannot get over 200,000 in the NES version, and got like 350,000 (or whatever it was) in the online version without even really trying...

Tetris is one of the few games I can actually get a high score in, well at least the newer versions of Tetris. It's been a long long time since I played the NES version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll participate in too many, but I'll poke around and see which games interest me. If Dr Mario ever comes up I'm in for that one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was seeing if people would be interested in other kinds of competitions I looked through the list of weekly games this year and remember seeing this one and thinking I wanted to compete. I'll give it a couple more go's tomorrow and see what I can do. Didn't have too much free time tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,515 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I had the week from hell at work and was getting home too exhausted to play much of anything. Crazy fast tetris was not in the cards. Played a bunch today and got a little better. Score updated to 90k on page 4. Its starting to seem more possible to sustain the pace, but my thumb has worn off and this game and beer do not mix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,561 Editorials Team · Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 This has been really interesting for me. My Tetris skills have been pretty stagnant for a long time. It's served me pretty well over the years to just brute-force my way to a high score. If I don't get a lucky round, abandon it and try again. Given enough attempts, I'll get a series of pieces that meshes really well with my playstyle, and I'll end up with a bangin' score. Wellll, looking at the high scorers in this thread, my approach is going to end up sliding me right out of the top ten. I have to learn new things in order to progress. If my best plan is to "wait for a lucky round," then I suck at Tetris. Sure, unlucky rounds exist, and I'll still sacrifice rounds that give me garbage pieces to start with (first ten pieces are nothing but S's, Z's, and squares) but I'd imagine that if there were a ten-game limit, allowing everyone an absolute maximum of ten attempts to get a high score, there would still be some very impressive scores, and they would definitely not be from me. I hate the word "hypertapping" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
