So I played a round of Tetris today on my DMG Game Boy with newly installed back light mod:
(yes, one of the four backlight LEDs does not work - I need to contact my supplier about that...)

Got 315,965 points, possibly my best game ever. I still remember the first time I cracked over 200,000 points on my Game Boy Color, and how amazed I was as it launched the rocket into outer space where it released tetris pieces from it's cargo bay. Best rocket launch ever in any version of Tetris! But on DMG Game Boy, not so much... :puppydogeyes:

Compare to this (skip to 1:37)

Interesting. I wonder how many other black-cart GBC games had reduced features like this when playing on a DMG or GB Pocket? Definitely something I'll have to look at cataloging when I get through the original GB games and start on GBC games for my website. Nice find!

Are you sure that's not dependent on score?
