Tetris clones

  1. Since there are so many clones (especially TAP) then I thought it would be a good idea to see how close they come to the original.


    For instance:


    The Definitive 070916: Master - gravity is slightly off, Death - no 500 torikan, otherwise accurate, neither mode stops after 999, also, no scoring/grading in either mode


    Heboris LITE 32.12: (for TAP) timings are off, Master gives grades faster than TAP Master


    Lockjaw 0.36 (old version, I know): contains line clear delays not present in TAP

    Known limitations of Lockjaw 0.3x:

    • No Normal
    • No Doubles
    • No Versus
    • Master 0-599 uses approximate interpolated timings, not the more recently discovered stepwise timings
    • Master 600-999 uses timings inferred from Death, not the more recently discovered separate set of timings
    • Death does not stop at 500 or 999
    • Extra 1-frame delay per cleared line (e.g. 4 for a tetris)
    • Master does not clear the playfield and turn on "Hide blocks in well" at 999
    • No scoring curve
    • No ranks
    • No white outline around masses of blocks
    • No "breaking" animation during line clear delay
    • Background image and music do not change
     
  3. Is there somewhere to download this "Definitive September 16th"?
