Tetris DX. (GB)

Tetris. Just about everyone has played the game at one time, it is a game that even people who don't normally play computer games are willing to play. Tetris DX is an updated version of the Tetris that came out for the original Game Boy and tries to add new features without changing the classic feel of the game. The game can only be played on the Game Boy Colour or any other version of the Game Boy that allows you to play Game Boy Colour games (such as the Game Boy Advance). --What is Tetris?-- Shapes made up of blocks fall from the top of the screen to the bottom, there are 7 different shapes each one is always made up of 4 blocks and will vary from ...  Read the complete review

I defy anybody NOT to become addicted to this game! There should be help lines and meetings set up for Tetris Addicts?! (Where can I join??) How can such an easy and simple concept attract so many people to spend hours improving (well, its exercise isn’t it?) their finger and thumb muscles by the quick repetitive flicking of the buttons as they try to fit little bricks into other little bricks while you keep getting more little bricks falling down onto the pile of………..Yep, you’ve guessed it…..little bricks!?? I’ve got a Gameboy Colour, and a whopping amount of games……..2!! Its not that I’m ...  Read the complete review

Included with the original Game Boy in 1989 was a cartridge called Tetris that set the standard that all other puzzles tried to aspire to. The game has been imitated and copied many times, but until the advent of Tetris DX for the Game Boy Color, it was never technically surpassed. The original frenetic block builder remains a classic to this day, and continues to deliver a highly addictive way to spend many an hour or two or... Fortunately you don't have to be a brain surgeon in order to understand the concept of Tetris, but as with most games of this ilk, mental dexterity is required in order to see your name appear on the high score table. ...  Read the complete review

Tetris was the first game ever released for the original GameBoy, and in my opinion it was one of the best. Now, Tetris DX is the first game released for the GameBoy Color, and - you guessed it - it's one of the best. The concept is simple. Blocks of various shapes fall from the top of the screen, and by rotating and moving them you must form rows as they land. A complete row disappears.

By far, the biggest amount of time I have spent on any game *ever* is Tetris - no joke. It ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game when I got the Game Boy colour, and like the game "Puzzled" has kept me very ammused for many years now. Tetris was the first game that was brought out for the Game boy, and even back then, before it was in colour, I loved it. I used to sit for hours and play it, praying I would one day get to the end so that I could see what the little sceene they played would look like! Yes a bit sad I know, but I was hooked. I must say though, i am still hooked to the game in its newer form, but sadly not as much as the origional. It does have more features, like the one against the computer which is really great, but when playing the ...  Read the complete review
