I was on a train once and was finally - FINALLY! - getting close to finishing 150 lines on Mode B. Totally in the zone, for once feeling like there was a direct connection between my brain and the game, all the pieces were landing just right...so after goodness knows how long, I finally did it. I saw the spaceship lift off for the first time, and...I had missed my stop and had to spend the next hour and a half walking to my destination.

Totally worth it.

What hardware is this? (Sorry if I'm completely out of the loop)

Have you played Apotris? It's on GBA but it's an awesome Tetris clone https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Apotris_GBA

Wow that brings back memories! I used to play this in the back of the car with a torch! Lost my GB years ago.

Thanks for bringing back good memories!

Great game!

I was able to get both Tetris GB and Tetris DX cartridge recently, to use with an Analogue Pocket. I need to get my lazy self into action and research how 'save games/high scores' work on the cartridges themselves (like on the original had, I assume). Right now, my top scores are lost after each power off... I am assuming it's a battery that needs to be replaced.

i had a gba sp in my bedside draw for years with my og tetris cart in it for the occasional game. i found my original grey gameboy when cleaning out recently and sadly it no longer turns on

My wife does not play games. When I handed her my DMG gameboy with Tetris in it, she played for 2 hours.

@davetansley@lemmy.one, is this modded with a backlight? It looks cool as hell.
