Which version of Tetris is your favorite?

[Lily]

Tetris DX for GBC is probably my all-time favourite. The PSP Mini version of Tetris and the PS3 PSN version of Tetris are high on my list this generation though, for some truly awesome modes and the fun factor. I thought that Tetris DS was awful, and that Tetris Party Deluxe was actually more fun. Even with The Grand Master homebrew, I felt the DS didn't really get a great Tetris game, which is a shame.

You think Nintendo DS didn't got a decent Tetris? You should take a look at the Gameboy Advance lol, the only available commercial tetris it got was Tetris Worlds, which in my opinion, is the worst tetris EVER made.

Original Tetris for the NES. I picked up the original Russian version at a thrift store the other day.

I can't say I have any real preference; as long as it's still Tetris, then it's good enough for me.

I think it speaks well of a game when even a version made for desktops is addicting as balls.

The version for NES is my favorite

My favorite variation is Columns 3 for Sega Genesis

TETRIS DS!

Just cause it had *REAL* Mario tetris.

Tetris Grand Master for me. Easy to control, and really fast. Tetris DS was too easy to play, I can easily rack up 1000 lines without even trying.

On another note, I really don't like how you have to buy the speed upgrades on the Facebook Tetris. It's almost like a pay2win situation.

I must agree with regnad

GB Color Tetris DX was the best tetris game I've ever played.

Pretty much this, although I've always had trouble getting into mobile phone versions. If I had to pick my top 5 would probably be Tetris (NES, licensed), Tengen Tetris (NES, unlicensed), Tetris (GB), Tetris DS, and Tetris Battle/TetrisFriends.com (web).

Tetris's history is surely one of a kind

This one is my childhood, thanks to my grandma:

You lie adamshinoda- that console was all about the spy hunter clone and race game.

Anyway finally played the PSP version (PSP1000). A perfectly functional version I might even come to really like (the PSP dspad works but the DS and GBA SP works better/I am more used to it) with the bundled variants some of the best I have ever seen (TGM is about the only thing that comes close unless you consider tetris 2 as a variant) but I do so miss VS mode and as such the PSP version falls short of true greatness.

Oh yeah worst version of tetris- there was a games machine in the pub. Touchscreen that didn't work and it was done by objectives (granted it would have paid you if you won).

 

[Wizerzak]

This one

(3D Tetris ftw!)

Seriously though , probably Tetris DS. Don't know why, just liked it.

 

[Tsuteto]

The most favorite one I had was a Tetris and Dr Mario combo for the SNES. Lots of good times out of that.

If we also include variations, Tetris Attack has QUITE the notable mention from me Man competitions can be intense in that!

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

I don't know if Tetris Attack really counts, since it was only given that name to help it sell in the US/Europe.

Still, I do love the Puzzle League games.

 

[Necron]

I haven't played a new tetris game in a while, but the last one was really really good. Tetris Battle Gaiden for the SNES.

No I'm not, I'm serious. This "console" was called "Brick Game" and it was full of Tetris clone. It always contained hundreds of "games", but actually most of them are Tetris in many different kinds. When I was a child, this was everywhere, believe it or not, it was expensive back then

He's serious. Here in México, it was the same. Down here, Nintendo videogames were things we could only dream of to have, they were (even more) expensive and very hard to find, and the economy didn't helped. Those 9999 in 1 brick games were also my first "videogame" device, even though they were dirt cheap, i had to work a lot as a kid to buy one of those. I played Tetris for hours and hours and loved it. Years after, things got much better and we could afford the Gameboy and the NES, they were obviously better, but my brick game its something i'll always remember xD

Sorry I think that got lost in translation (I had meant it as something like "I enjoyed ? film" to which I would reply "you lie- you only watched it for the action sequences" or something) - I had several of those consoles as well (they used to sell them in Cornwall and other tourist traps around here for the sorts of money kids get as holiday spending money) and although they did feature a half decent game of tetris (a slightly worse version of the GB/GBC game although the controls and screen setup was pretty tight*) all the ones of those I either owned or had a go on had a nice little car racing and/or spyhunter clone that I and everybody else that had a go spent far more time playing than the tetris implementation.

*a couple had motion blur and a couple didn't, I could never quite figure out which was better.
