Found this game by chance browsing through the Gameboy NSO's catalog. I had played a bit of the OG Tetris before and was really into it, so I was just BLOWN AWAY by how much BETTER Tetris DX is. It really is a perfect update of an already fucking great game. Extremely addictive, colorful and challenging, can't recommend it enough.

This is the game that introduced me to Tetris when I was younger. I've played many versions on many systems, but I still go back to this one the most.

My first copy was stolen but I bought another one years later. I miss the hold feature from newer games but not having it does add an extra challenge. My high score is over a million points.

One of the few things that has brought me a modicum of joy this year was the acquisition of this Funkey S, a very tiny handheld that can play roms for a variety of old systems. Perfect for a quick round of Tetris DX, whenever I have a few idle minutes I need to kill. I wasn't sure if I would hate the controls or not, but I actually find games to be perfectly playable on this. Perhaps not for an extended amount of time, but for pick-up-and-play this pocketable device does legitimately do the trick.
Because the screen is so small though, I can only truly recommend playing games that were designed for small screens to begin with... In other words:
Everything made for TVs is just too difficult to play with great accuracy, at least in my opinion. So I've made this my go-to for old handheld titles, very few of which I've ever gotten to play before.
Well, I've played Tetris before of course, but again -- that really is the perfect title for gaming on the go and for killing a bit of time. Tetris DX includes four modes:
No holding pieces, no tricky maneuvers, and no counting on a line piece to show up whenever you need one oh so desperately. You get what you get, and the instant a block lands it sticks. No muss, no fuss. I like the additions later Tetris games get, but there's something to be said about keeping it simple.
As for why I play the DX version from Game Boy Color instead of the OG on regular Game Boy... Well, the colors are nice, what can I say. They picked some nice colors for those blocks.
