Are you kidding? I payed full price for Tetris DS when it came out, and I consider it the most worthwhile purchase I made for my DS. I have certainly played it more than any of my other DS games. Just because Tetris is a simple game doesn't make it worthless.machomuu said:

It goes way back into those old days when consoles were in their 8bit stages. People (like myself) used to play Tetris on a handheld which was widely known as Brick Game back then (atleast that's what my family members called it). From those days till now, the spark of Tetris still remains, even I still play it. You could say it's the Angry Birds of the 80s and 90s. It's popular because it was the best time killer back then, people like me, who used to spend time playing Tetris, still love it. Thus, it's popular. I'm not sure if kids these days love Tetris.

You just jolted me back many years. I had one of those. Found it at a thrift store. Played the hell out of it.SamAsh07 said:Zorua said:Don't get me wrong here, but I hate Tetris. I never understood the reason behind it's popularity......

My dad still owns a Brick Game (exactly the one shown above), he's been playing it for over 20 years now, damn that record will be hard to surpass. He plays max level Tetris like a Boss xD
P.S. - If anyone knows about Brick Game's wiki article, could you link me to it? Can't seem to find it on Wiki. Maybe it isn't called Brick Game everywhere
