Looks like you're gradually cutting down the time through practice. With enough effort, you'll look back to your past games and wonder how on earth you were ever that slow.
I already am, what with my 4 and 5 minute times from 1999. =P (What? I'd never played any Tetris except Tetris 2 back then, and the way Tetris worked confused me. :[)

thats unreal. I watched it with the speedo on, and you have parts where you hit just below 200 for a good few seconds, but your speed fluctuates a lot. its very unique, and damn fast.
can you helpe find the cultris like settings, cause im stuck at 100bpm while with cultris i hit 120 easily
