    I'm not an expert at determining if these internet videos are real or not, but it didn't look real to me.

    Always wanted to play TGM3. Shame the only one that got ported to a home console was TGM4 and even then it never made it out of Japan.

    TGM2 was the god damn bee's knees.

    Whenever I build up one side and leave a sliver open on the other side like that guy, I never get the skinny piece, I usually get like six squares in a row.

    aparently in the nes version of tetris the trick is to take pieces you want more of and move them back and forth alot before you drop them. The game watches for pieces you take a long time to drop and gives you more of them thinking your having trouble with them can't say ive ever noticed it giving me alot more of the 4x1's though :-x.

    Try playing with a turbo controller and whenever you get the long pieces on the early levels put the spin button on turbo till it hits the bottom of the playfield, do it long enough and you'll start getting long pieces MUCH more often then before. works really well on the tengen version (which also has a cheat code to get a long piece when you need it)

    Very impressive but did you notice he rarely was given a duplicate piece? A shitload of S's in a row and then things get interesting. Also the "hold a piece" crap in modern Tetris is BS.

    I think it would have to be Data because that doesn't seem humanly possible. Especially when all of the pieces are invisible while the credits are scrolling.
    So.......either that video's a fake or that "person" is an alien.
    The world has moved on and left me behind. Therefore I choose to retreat into the past.

    Funny thing, I was thinking "Data" too. Weird.

    We need to get this guy to play the NWC version just to see what is humanly possible.

    "Please keep in mind this video is an official Arika release"

    In other words, if you think there's any way in hell that anyone could actually be this good at Tetris, you're a fool for falling for our promotional video tricks!

    Most likely the left half of the video is a programmed sequence specially made to duplicate the hand motions of the right half of the video, thus creating the illusion that the alleged player is actually playing the game.
