Hello~ I'm not a Tetris player though I guess the first game I played was back on DOS. Anyhow, I made a Tetris clone a few years back just for the heck of it and it "worked". I picked it up again and tried to improve it which led me down the rabbit hole of guidelines, rotation systems, locks, gravity... and ended up here. It's been a bit overwhelming but I found quite a few nice threads in here.
https://tetrisconcept.net/threads/randomizer-theory.512/ You might enjoy this thread. Or it might make your brain melt. One of the two.
Oh yes, I've checked that one as I skimmed through the R&D section. It made me go "Oh well, I can add different randomizers later anyhow."
Hello, I'm Kirbs2002 Some of the Tetris streamers have probably noticed me lurking and hanging around in the chat. I've finally bit the bullet and decided to try playing tetris at a higher level than Tetris Worlds. My short term goal is to become proficient at Classic Rule/ARS tetris play. Long-term goal is to just complete a round of Master mode on Texmaster (or god forbid, an actual TGM game).
Welcome to the site, Kirbs! Hope you have fun whilst the game slaps you about until you can slap back! It's one hell of a ride!
Welcome aboard! Good luck with your tgm journey I'm sure you'll finish it before you know it if you keep training
1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player? I've played Tetris since about 2012, when I started to collect retro games. I played GB Tetris on an emulator on my mom's phone to start off and haven't really stopped since. My current stint with Tetris started around the time of CTWC 2017, maybe a couple months before. I wouldn't say great, though I have a personal best of 370k. I'm not consistent enough to really think of myself as a "great player" though I strive to become competent. 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play? NES Tetris almost exclusively. I have been playing since CTWC 2017 almost every day on my own NES. It started off on my computer though I knew that a real NES was the way to go, and I haven't turned back since. 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? NASCAR Racing 2003, Hearts Of Iron 4, and a handful of computer games are the onyl games outside of Tetris I actually play. I have a whole shelf's worth of classic consoles with games though I'm too busy in my computer room to devote time to playing them. 4. Any other block/puzzle games you enjoy? I was into Columns on Genesis for a while, even doing a review on it on my (now defunct) YouTube channel. But other than that Tetris is all I really play in that category. 5. How did you find out about tetrisconcept? I posted my personal best pic to the Classic Tetris Monthly discord channel. I got a response from someone that goes by the name Fish_1138 who sent me a link to the any-start level leaderboards thread on here. It was funny because I'm doing a project on Tetris for school and visited this site for research. After I make this post, I'll post my score; that is, if my laziness subsides and I decide to upload the pic from my phone to my PC lol. That's me I guess! I can't guarantee me being too active on here but it's always nice to see people into the same stuff as me
Dear Sirs, thank you to make join this forum. A long time ago I started my passion for Tetris. I’m here to known everything from expert Tetris players. So lets me share your Tetris story Best Regards.
1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player? Well, I've been playing since I got my first grey-brick Game Boy back in the day, but I started seriously playing TAP about two and a half years ago. And I don't know if I'd call myself "great" yet, but I did just get my first GM rank in TGM1 today! 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play? All the ARS games and only the ARS games (guideline Tetris makes NO SENSE to me anymore), but definitely mostly TAP. Hours a day, lately. 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? Roguelikes, rhythm games, 2D shooters, that kind of thing. Lots of indie games. 4. Any other block/puzzle games you enjoy? Not really! I could imagine getting into Panel de Pon or Puzzle Fighter but I haven't spent a ton of time with either yet. 5. How did you find out about tetrisconcept? I've ended up here googling TGM stuff plenty of times, but I only just signed up because KevinDDR told me to
Welcome @squidlarkin! I was racking my brain the other day where I had heard your name before and I realized you made my favorite Pirate Kart II shooter. Congrats on TGM1 GM! I hope you enjoyed your day of infinite happiness.
Hey I’m peeply/Joseph 1. I started when I was super young one of my very first games was the Tetris on the game boy color. I haven’t played a very long time and I would not call my self a great player... not even close. 2. I really want to get into TGM but I don’t know where to find it (and I’m broke so I can’t drop hundreds of dollars on and arcade machine. 3. I play most ever other video there really isn’t any I don’t like. 4. I don’t know not a lot come to mind. 5. Earlier today I was watching the Tetris block at AGDQ and Kevinddr mentioned his YouTube so I checked it out. Watch him get GM. Then was looking for his twitch in his about section when I found a link to this website.
Hello, i'm kinda new in this forum (and the tetris community in general), english is not my first language (i'm from Argentina) sorry if I do some mistake in grammar or something like that. Anyways. "1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player?" The 2016 finals (yes) When I took a look at the video, it interested me and I started playing. My current record is on 300k i think, I play since October approximately, i think i'm in a "decent" level "2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play?" Just Nes Tetris for now, i spend like 2-3 hours a day or so. "3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy?" I don't remember anyone, i think im a tetris addict (?) Rin best katawa.
Boom, Tetris for @Alejodios . Welcome to the community! I don't know if it's just me but I find NES Tetris to be pretty relaxing. At least compared to other Tetris games. Would you mind if I asked how you play? (Whether you listen to music, go full try-hard, ect.)
Thank you! NES Tetris is relaxing, but level 19 is very stressful for me! (?) I usually play listening to music, although today I played without doing it and I broke my record, coincidence? i think nawt.
1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player? Just saw some TGM3 gameplay from friend of mine on YT and it looked pretty cool for me so I gave it a try. I play Tetris games over 1 year I think, I'm a meh player, I don't know really. 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play? TGM, PPT, ST3, NullpoMino. Mostly play PPT atm. 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? Notepad++, Paint.net. Kinda hard to find something new and interesting for myself. 4. Any other block/puzzle games you enjoy? idk 5. How did you find out about tetrisconcept? From one discord server or somewhere else.
Hi guys My name is Vincent, I'm 39. I'm Belgian and live in Quebec city since 2011. English is not my first language so I hope you'll understand me xD 1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player? I started playing on Game Boy in 1989 or 1990. tetris was my only game for a while so I played it a lot during 4 or 5 years. My PBs at the time where around 210 lines and 450k. After that, with new games and new consoles, I wasn't playing Tetris too much. One game or two if I had the opportunity to find a Game Boy, I never switched to the other versions, the Hold feature seems (for me) to change the core of the game and the feeling of playing on Game boy was also the best for me. Last Year, during a trip, there was a Game Boy with Tetris in the restrooms. I played some games and broke my 2 PBs, making 221 lines and 540k then 551k. In march 2018, I was talking with a friend that just bought a Nes classic copy. He asked me if I wanted to play with him. Of course ! So found out that we were 2 tetris fans and just started to play once a week, 2 or 3 games on Tengen Tetris. The 3rd or 4th week, I did 978 lines and 1.280.000. Wanted to know if it was a good score or not, start looking around and found Twin Galaxies ... I saw the crazy records there and discover the NES version with the CTWC. It seems to me that I could find the old sensations on this one. So this April, I downloaded a emulator and started on the NES version. During the Gameboy times, I thought I was pretty good at Tetris because I didn't know anyone who make more lines or a better score, but now afer watching CTWC, Tetris masters ... I think I'm an good average player Score 460k on NES Tetris last week and a 400k starting from lvl 18 and started to play with the 2 buttons coz I was a one player button. 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play? Nes Tetris : 3 or 4 times a week. Tengen : Once a week with my friend. 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? Overwatch, a lot of overwatch ..., CSGO, tomb raider series and many more. 4. Any other block/puzzle games you enjoy? Not really 5. How did you find out about tetrisconcept? Right now, I'm pretty obsessed with Tetris again, so I'm looking on the web for ressources and found Tetris concept. Have a great day guys !
Hey everyone ! I'm Will aka PorCus, a 41yo Swiss guy, trying to find ways to play TGM* . I do network stuff in the DFZ [1] for my day job, I'm a DJ, also doing stuff in many non-profit organization and if my life is not busy enough, I also wrote a SF novel (in French, no pdf version available yet ) . Hope to find ways to get into that game, and hopefully improve if I can balance my time right for improvement 1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player? I discovered that game with the Gameboy around the begging of the 90s when I was around 14 or 15, and played a lot with the linked feature. I won't say I'm a great player, I'm just decently ok, I could beat some younger people at some hacker conference when I was actually not exactly drinking only water. So I suppose I have something that's almost a muscle memory for basic Tetris behaviour. 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play? I discovered I could run TAP on a Mame, and that TI will run in a Virtual Machine, so I will try to find more permanent hardware to play it. Has I don't have received the stick I ordered, I'm not pushing too much my time on that currently, but will some hours if I got a non-busy day. I also played a bit of Tetris Nes on Emu on my PSP. 3. What other games besides Tetris keep you busy? I currently have two games I play almost daily, Zombidle and Forge of Empires. I also want to re-run a Quake3 server to play with my friend from that era, when we organized some of the Lan Parties in Geneva. 4. Any other block/puzzle games you enjoy? Didn't caught the mood on Dr.Mario, and cannot really remember if I played any other games in those mood. Not sure OpenTTD [2] counts as a puzzle 5. How did you find out about tetrisconcept? Searching for TGM informations will at most of the points end up on this forum, so here am I Cheers ! [1] DFZ : Default Free Zone, the place were the internet happens with the full routing table and no default route. [2] OpenTTD : Opensource version of Transport Tycoon
Hey everyone! My name is Christopher and I'm a young 15yo and since I watched the TGM section in AGDQ2015 I started playing TAP on mame (that should be a hint of how long I've been playing TGM) I live on Mexico since I was 4 but I actually was born in the US, still I know just the basics of English so sometimes my words won't make sence because I won't know how to say what I want to say 1. Why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing and if you consider yourself a great player? I started playing tetris because... I didn't had anything else to play on the go, the first tetris game I played was "Tetris POP" like in 2010, a tetris game for the old java phones, it's not a very known tetris game I believe, it also was just a demo also (I ended downloading the full version on internet), it is a mission based tetris game with a lot of game modes, I liked the game and I haven't played the game in years, I consider myself as a good player vs most people, vs the tetris community? just average 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play? Right now I play a lot TGM3 Shirase (Classic) and less Master, I play almost all days, I rarely play TAP Master, when I skip days on TGM3 it's usually because I'm playing tetris friends, and because they have different rotation systems I get confused a bit if I keep changing between ARS and SRS 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? I don't have any game consoles, and my pc is a potato so I don't have a lot of options, I play a lot the old doom online via doomseeker 4. Any other block/puzzle games you enjoy? PUYO PUYO! I actually got into the puyo puyo series a year before the International release of Puyo Puyo Tetris was announced (it felt kinda magical for me when it got announced) , I wanted to play Mean Bean Machine again and I ended on Puyo Nexus learning a lot about the original games, and became a fan in no time. PD : Draco best waifu 5. How did you find out about tetrisconcept? Searching for tetris communities and TGM info
