I loose faith when people cry 'photoshopped', i was so excited about my score, had no-one around who would appreciate it and so posted them on here. I didn't doctor a photo to start a fake thread - why would i do that? i'm not claiming a new record because it's unverified - i admitted that already.
I have a few more photo's taken that anyone can take a closer look at if they so wish and also have the high resolution one's that you can take a look at and then explain why you still think they are photoshopped.
In fact, family computer - care to expain what led you to think that anyway - is there an inconsistency in the photo's that made you swipe away my excitement, practice and hard work in just a few words?
Jorfo - i think you're thinking of the original gameboy tetris - not the gameboy color 'DX' version on which i got my score, the original is very difficult to get much over 200 for the reasons you've given - 'DX' has a looser feel and levels out at 300 lines but enables high line scores much higher then the original.
On this 955 line attempt i held it together well for about the first 600 or 700 lines then in the last few hundred i had a couple of get-out's where it'd creep near the last third of the screen high (any higher and you can't get a piece out to the edges, it's too fast!), and claw it back again. It's really a case of chipping away line by line - if you hold out for 3 or 4 lines at a time you're srewed if the piece you need dosn't come out in the next piece or two. It took me just over an hour.
I will try for a recorded attempt tomorow and let you know how i get on. I would love that twin galaxies certificate!
Thankyou to the rest for sharing in my score with me!
