Your Most-Liked Tetris Game(s)

While it doesn't play as well as the others (no shifting between drop speeds) I really like the CD-i version for its backgrounds and music. It's one of the only few CD-i titles I like.

I probably played the original Game Boy version more than any other, but I'd say the one I had the most fun with was probably Tetris Blast, also on the original Game Boy.

Tetris on the Nintendo 64. It was always a giddy feeling of making a "happy box" square piece and hearing the balloon like squeezing sound the game made when the box was formed.

I mostly played the Gameboy or NES Nintendo Tetris versions so really either of them. I haven't played enough other versions to really say if I'd prefer anything else even more.

As for a bare bones version of Tetris, the original Gameboy version is always a solid choice and one of my favourite "basic" versions.

Tetris DS however is the best version I have ever played. The way all the Nintendo properties are worked into the game is fantastic and all the different original modes are absolutely brilliant.

Tetris DS for me. I enjoy the little bits of NES nostalgia thrown in there, and the other styles of gameplay.

edit: I feel like I copied the homework of the person above me.

I'd choose Tetris Plus (Saturn/PS1). I really enjoy the puzzle mode where you have to help the archeologist get to the bottom of the screen.

I've got that, but I haven't played that game in a very long time. The online mode was pretty sweet years back. Got trounced by people I couldn't talk to or see, but it was a humbling experience to see such mastery. I'll have to dig it out sometime and get the kids involved. They can't stack real items worth a spit (pots and pans just shoved into the cabinet rather than neatly stacked in one another, for example) so maybe some Tetris will do them good. Who says you can't learn anything from video games?

Tetris DS is pretty neat indeed, but it's way too easy to "marathon".

I think NES Tetris was the last one I played. I appreciate why it's still a favorite for competitions despite the existence of hardcore things like Tetris The Grand Master. There's a narrow window in which you can punch up your score before the pieces start falling too quickly to manipulate.

The New Tetris, to be precise. I thought the squares were a pretty neat twist on the classic Tetris gameplay. Apparently in some versions (like Tetris Worlds) it is called "square Tetris".
