Tetris & Dr. Mario

[Amnesia]

I would talk about this good tetris, it's thanks to this game I become an addicted player at tetris, and this was the only and first tetris which propose "diagonal" move..


...And one day..I saw my first video of tgm, this day I've understand I was not good player.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif

So I want to know if there is on this forum some people who have a high score on this tetris?? I think I was very strong with 328 lines..

[tetrisdude]

yea thats the game where i started tetris too.

[kotetsu213]

I hate it and never want to play it again.

[tepples]

this was the only and first tetris which propose "diagonal" move..

"Diagonal" move? You mean sideways and soft drop at once? The New Tetris for N64 has this.

[caffeine]

it's also really important in tds w/ tspins and all. noah kicks at it.

[colour_thief]

Wait... What?


Is there some fancy move in TDS that has eluded me?

[tetrisdude]

[caffeine]

if it is what i think they're talking about, then it means for any move requiring soft drop, immediately hold down before going left or right. while it's going down, move it left or right at the same time and put it in it's place. it's kind of hard.

[colour_thief]

Oh, that. It works in TGM with the so-called sonic drop, though nobody seems to use that technique. Probably because the gains are minimal (sonic instead of soft, so a couple frames are saved max) and it's made more difficult with the 4 way guide on the joystick.

[M.Bison]

I was playing this version a few months back. I tend to play any version of tetris I can get hold of for 1 - 3 months, than put it down, never to play again.


My highscore for Tetris & Dr. Mario is only 600,000 (I have a photo some where) which is not a bad score considering the poor randomizer, and points not increasing for line clear's past level 9.

I've forgot to tell this tetris belongs at the old generation (GB, nes..),

the diagonal move was a fantastic enhancement and allowed a very fast game.. equivalent ~ 300+(2,5x300)= lv 1050 in..16min! that was fast for the half of 90s.

I finally found it for 12€50 (15 $)!!

This fucking game doesn't let me play like I want...

I didn't remember any more how the old tetris was so limited..

I was wrong when I fought tgm will bring me lot of skill to increase my old personnel records on old tetris...


Is there anybody who have got some informations about DAS, ARE and other on this tetris?

THE ONLY THING I KNOW : LOCK DELAY = 00000000000 http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif

[Rosti LFC]

I've gone back and played NES Tetris, and all of a sudden everything is a whole lot more difficult at higher levels.


I remember when I first came here, and was a mid-6000 wifi player. I used to look up to caffeine, Digital and all the other players with a top 100 place recorded in their blockstats gif. I used to think I'd never get even close to that high. I would've be happy to be in the top 1000 players.


My, how things have changed.

[DIGITAL]

I still have a copy of this game. The game is hard at the higher levels but I find I'm doing much better than long ago (probably because I sucked really bad back then).


And Rosti, I definitely know what you are talking about. I remember watching nick's videos and how I looked up to him like an idol. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif Mihara was a living god. Holic (Jin8?) was a myth.


Things have changed. I'm more or less pursuing these people nowadays. I'm amazed at how much I've improved since TDS. I hadn't even heard of TGM before then.

[tetrisdude]

i hope this games comes out for the wii's virtual console.

We probably won't see any Tetris brand titles in Virtual Console. Nintendo has reported that Mr. Rogers and Mr. Pajitnov want too much money (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Console_%28Wii%29#Third_party_support).

[caffeine]

I checked the source, and it wasn't Nintendo reporting. It was speculation:

Licensing Bad Dreams:
Licensing third-party older titles has been a complete nightmare. They’ve come into trouble securing some of the more basic concepts because of intellectual property and licensing laws, along with deals that have occured since the game was release for the original systems. Think: Tetris came out years ago for the NES, but has since had its license sold off to numerous companies, with the latest being mobile gaming developer Jamdat for some ridiculous figure in excess of $100 million dollars. These hurdles are being worked out, but some titles (Goldeneye) just won’t be available.

My highscore for Tetris & Dr. Mario is only 600,000


Heu..Jp?


Are you sure you was talking about Tetris & Dr M ?? Not the NES version?

2 possible ways :

1 : You are one the luckiest player on the earth

2 : I must definitely stop playing Tetris.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

My higher score is around 478000 and that seems to me very very difficult to reach 600000.

[tepples]

3: Player is adding the score for Tetris to the score for Dr. Mario.

I don't think jp is so stupid...And I know he is an impressive player since his lesson on DTET...


In fact I've tried seriously for 2 weeks...My best at 478000 has been done at 252 lines, so I've lost 38 lines (a tetris become pratically impossible at 290 because of the bad DAS), and it was a bad distribution :

~120 S

~120 Z

~ 90 I

and around 100 for the others..


My objectif is 500000 and I stop after..

[M.Bison]

Are you sure you was talking about Tetris & Dr M ?? Not the NES version?

I am 100% positive I am talking about Tetris & Dr.Mario

You are one the luckiest player on the earth
Not at all true, I used to play the game for about an hour a day, for about a month or so. So not that lucky.

Player is adding the score for Tetris to the score for Dr. Mario.
I am very bad a Dr.Mario, and never play that game.

I don't think jp is so stupid...

Well, I am a little slow http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

And I know he is an impressive player since his lesson on DTET

lol, I played DTET even less then Tetris & Dr.Mario

My best at 478000 has been done at 252 lines

Thats not a bad score at all, keep trying and you will break 500,000 in no time at all.


I have a photo of my high score still, 609,170 on level 29, 290 lines

Boah.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

You just have a better and more optimized brain than mine.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[colour_thief]

Improvement has less to do with raw time you put in and more to do with determination and focused effort.


The exception is when you have to learn a new control scheme. For example, switching to joystick or one-handed joystick. In that case raw time (eg. zombie practice) is still beneficial until you learn the controls.

http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif YYAAAHHHH!!!!

I stop now with this game..I think I will never do better in my life..

With 13 consecutive tetrises at beginning until 52 lines.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif

So jp , you are the Grand Master of T&Dr.M ! http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
