Advantages: simple to understand and play

Disadvantages: you may waste your life playing this

The Gameboy Tetris game follows the same principle as the Tetris game available on all the other platforms (PC, iPod etc). During the game, different shaped combinations of flour blocks fall from the top of the screen. This shape can be rotated round in by using the A button on the Gameboy. The purpose of the game is to organise the shapes at the bottom of the screen so that they fit together perfectly without any gaps between the blocks. If a continuous line of blocks is formed horizontally across the screen then this line is eliminated from the game and points are awarded. A maximum of four lines can be eliminated at once- and this multiple elimination earns you the most number of points available with one move. The game is lost when a block touches the top of the screen.

The Gameboy game allowed you to choose what level you started on (the higher the level, the faster the blocks fall). There were also two game options; A and B. In A, the game carries on until one of the blocks touches the top of the screen. In B the aim is to eliminate 25 rows whilst gaining as many points as possible.

This game is great for when you are on holiday and have nothing else to do, and is very addictive so will keep you entertained for hours. I have never had any problems with the game, it still has perfect quality. Tetris' continuing popularity is a testament to how good the game is.

Summary: a simple game of falling blocks which is timeless
