HAVE YOU HAD YOUR TETRIS BOOSTER SHOT?

I loved Tetris!

One of my best friends in high school was heavily into computer games. Shooter types mostly. He'd always want to go to the arcade and I'd get bored watching him and so didn't want to go. He convinced me that I'd LOVE Tetris. Took a bit to get it (I was utterly new to computer games) but then I quickly became addicted. I was pretty good for a while there (and he managed to construct a reliable arcade companion).

The first time i played Tetris, it was on a computer that a friend had inherited when he moved into a new house. I went over to show him how to use the computer, and to see if it were usable (it was) and it had Tetris on it. At two o'clock the following morning, he told me to get the hell out and go home.

Tetris is very addictive.

Soz, go do a Google search for anything. They've got a Tetris motif today.

cute!

The Girl has a great Tetris addiction story . . . but i'll let her tell it, if she is so inclined.

loved tetris on the original gameboy, and nintendo's rip off dr. mario

I was horribly/wonderfully addicted to Tetris.

It got to the point that I had to throw the cartridge into the box I kept the vacumn cleaner in, in the back of a crowded closet. If I wanted to play Tetris, I'd have to pull the carton out of the closet, pull out the vacumn and then dig through the packing material at the bottom. It wasn't always enough of a disincentive. Addicted.

I'm quite fond of the version on Facebook. I don't spend hours on it, but I still get a huge kick (and high scores of course ) out of it when I play.



( I just checked - I've still got the gameboy and the cartridges in a cabinet that's a bit awkward to get at - still there for a gaming emergency )

What was the name of the song that Andrew Lloyd Weber wrote about Tetris?

Where can you play Tetris on facebook, ehbeth?

My personal best in Tetris, back in the day, was going from Level 1 to Level 12 on nothing but tetrises (tetri?). I also didn't go on many dates as a kid.

CJane - the application at FB is called Tetris Friends.

Ah, thank you!
