hi hello! i just joined this forum, so here goes =] 1. How and why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing Tetris and if you consider yourself a great player? i started playing tetris because i got an NDS, and my boyfriend would kick my butt in tetris all the time. after a couple games, i decided i would never lose a tetris game to him ever since, and i haven't! and that would be the start of my playing tetris.. this happened back in april/may 2009. although, i did take a break for most of my senior year in high school because i've been busy with college and what not, but with graduation nearing, i am starting to get back into it again ;D ... i don't consider myself a great player, but at least pretty decent (endless high score: 1,174,222) 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play daily on average? i mostly play endless and the online arena battle on tetrisfriends.com or multiplayer wifi on my NDS. i probably spend about an hour or two on tetris every day.. 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? call of duty! 4. Any other block/puzzle game you recommend I should look into? Tetris variants are also welcome. i wish i knew too ;( .. i'm getting tetris party on the wii for reals in the summer though. should be fun.
whats ur name on tetrisonline. are u platinum? ur endless score is terrible (if thats on ds) i think thats what u get if u just BEAT it starting on level 20
Way to give a warm welcome... Hi ninja-pleasee, welcome to the forums! You'll have to excuse XaeL, he seems to be a bit lacking in the social skills department All of us here are totally non-elitist when it comes to competition, and we respect people far more for their charm and personality than for their skill as tetris players. Although we don't discuss it that much any more, quite a few of us have TDS and still play it. If you'd like to arrange friendly matches, we have an IRC chatroom which can be used for just such a purpose, simply click on the "Join Live Chat" link on the main forum index. Some of us have been playing the game since it first came out and are scarily good; others, like me, have just started getting into it. I think my endless score is just over 1 million (I was trying to max it out at 999,999 and turned off in disgust when I saw it roll over to 1 million ). I hope you enjoy your stay here, and look forward to getting to know you better.
Tetris isn't serious business for everyone. Welcome ninja-pleasee. It all started with Tetris DS for me too and I've come a long way since. As mentioned we'll try to help where we can if you have any questions, so don't be shy or feel intimidated. You'll find a lot of info in the wiki and on the forum as well. I think my current TDS Endless high score is around 3 million and my Marathon score just over a million. From your description it seems like you're the type who enjoys the multiplayer aspect of Tetris more. Make sure keep ahead of your boyfriend.
I've only played endless marathon twice on DS. First try 15 mil, second try about 30. But it's really pointless and takes forever to max, I was playing for a very long time, had to pause overnight only to play for a bit and loose focus and it was all over..
Hi Everybody ! I'm 29 years old and I'm a French player of TGM2 Plus. 1. How and why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing Tetris and if you consider yourself a great player? I play Tetris because it's a really fun game. Especially TGM2 ! I Think this game is very well conceived in the least detail. I play Tetris since many years like a lot of people, but never seriously. So, I think I really started playing Tetris with TGM2 Plus at the beginning of 2009. More exactly, one month before the superplay of PetitPrince and Amnesia on the French TV Channel "Nolife". I don't consider myself like a great player of Tetris. I have just a S1 rank on TGM2 and I can go above the level 300 in Death mode. 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play daily on average? I play only TGM2 Plus on Mame. My frequency of playing is not very constant. I think I don't play tetris so much even if it's one of my preferred game. 3. What other games besides Tetris keep you busy? I love Manic Shooters. I play a lot and a lot of manic since many years. But since 2 years, there is another kind of game that takes all my free time : Beatmania IIDX. I love IIDX so much that I think it's my preferred game ever. 4. Any other block/puzzle game you recommend I should look into? Tetris variants are also welcome. I like others Puzzle Game, like Puzzle Bobble for example, but nothing comparable to TGM. Here is it for my little presentation. I hope I will be able to meet one of you at the "Stunfest X" in a few days !
Hey Yoshiki! Definitely post some of your scores in the Competition forum! Also, if you are interested in meeting up with Amnesia, myself, and maybe others in August in Paris, let me know. I'll be there for quite a while.
Thanks everybody for your welcome ! Sure, I will post my scores very soon. And It would be a pleasure to meet some of you. Today, I've just discovered the "mametgm" version. I see a BIG difference between my standard WolfMame and this one ! It's much less laggy !
Hey everyone! I'm keikun332, aspiring game developer and recovering wow addict heh. I have been watching games of TGM for a while now and always been awe inspired. Two days ago, I got into it and I must say, it's an amazing game (I play heboris). I also go into some touhou shooters (again, been watching but never played). Anyway, can't wait to progress through the ranks of the game as I LOVE a good challenge! As for the initial fourm questions: 1. How and why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing Tetris and if you consider yourself a great player? I've played tetris since it was on the gameboy and picked it back up maybe... 2 different times in life? The longest I remember playing it was maybe an hour or 2 straight on the game boy color, putting it down for a moment to use the restroom and losing my momentum and dying 10 seconds after I unpaused it! lol So far, I've played maybe.... 10 games of heboris and I can get to about... level 400 - 500 on the mode that locks and begins the next drop almost right away on the umm... second... mode? (I HATE the delay after a piece falls heh. always catches me off guard) Yeah, really really new to the terminology heh heh. 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play daily on average? Just started! I think I've put in maybe, half an hour or so a day so far? probally gonna go up! I play heboris 3. What other games besides Tetris (if any ) keep you busy? I am a recovering wow addict heh (account expires 5/25/10, I posted this on 5/23/10). I was heavily into yugioh, magic, capcom vs snk 2 and just this december got into marvel vs capcom 2. I've cleared I wanna be the guy on normal and hard. Just got into Touhou shooters and I'm developing my own card game! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE beatmania, but no arcades near me So I just play an emulation of it called be-pachi music. Besides that, work. Just moved to utah from hawaii in march, long story heh. 4. Any other block/puzzle game you recommend I should look into? Tetris variants are also welcome. Good question... umm... I always concidered tower defense games to be somewhat of a puzzle game. Haven't really gotten into any of them besides elemental tower defense on warcraft, but haven't played in a long long time
Welcome to the forums keikun332! You seem to share a lot of interests with quite a few other members here - beatmania/ddr and other music games are pretty popular here, and a load of people here are also CVS2 and MVC2 fans. I could never get into the mashup fighters myself, but I do like a bit of street fighter, VF5, or guilty gear XX occasionally. Also, I don't know about yugioh, but magic the gathering is definitely popular here. Magic is one of my own guilty pleasures actually; I played it a lot when I was 11 (around 4th edition, I think), and picking it up again recently feels like revisiting childhood. I realize that I'm essentially just spending a small fortune on bits of paper, and I've got a whole load of friends that mock me for playing something that they think I should have grown out of, but who cares eh? Anyways, I hope you enjoy your stay here, and make sure you swing by the chatrooms; despite playing nerdy things like tetris and magic the gathering, we can actually be pretty cool guys to hang out with... at least I hope so
Thanks And wow I'll feel right at home then! so whats your favorite colors in MTG? I personally like to play them all and I'm pretty well versed at the game. I don't know all the different meta decks, but I'm a very solid player. I roll Red/Green Beatdown and burn along with Blue/Black fairy control. I'm still getting used to heboris. Good lord it's so hard... But I love it! I could use some pointers on my game. Is there a place to maybe post up replays for advice on how I'm playing and what not? So far, I can only get a grade 4 on ARS G1... I can't seem to beat the timer X_X not dropping them fast enough... Anyway, I'll be sure to stop by the chat. Where is that at?
My advice would be to instead actually play the real TGM1. You'll probably improve more quickly that way. Zinc and MAME both run the game. If you want to go the clone route, both Nullpomino and Texmaster are far more accurate than Heboris. I'd be glad to provide some advice when/if you post a replay, but I should warn you ahead of time that everyone on this forum thinks I have the absolute worst playstyle.
you know, I actually saw that mame had a rom of TGM1. I downloaded it but it didn't work or show up on the mame emulator. didn't really get why. texmaster eh? Okay. I'll check that out. I don't really know the differences or anything heh is there a page that has all the physics information and a throughough how to play index with indepth analysis of how each piece works, placement and strategy for general stacking? I'm really analytical heh heh Thanks in advance!!!
Are you sure you were using the latest MAME ? I wrote a guide a while ago. Hope you'll find it useful. Also, there's a (mostly) translated japanese guide. Anyway. Welcome to TC !
aha!!! thats the culprit! heh heh. awesome guys thanks I'll get back to you after I get some sleep. I'll go fire up google when I get up and check that out. thanks
Greetings everyone, Suohfei speaking. Until now, it was PetitPrince who posted my records for me, but he pushed (more like shoved) me to create my own account on the forum, so I could post them myself. Well... here I am. Nice to meet you all 1. How and why did you start playing Tetris? Can you also please specify how long you have been playing Tetris and if you consider yourself a great player? I had forgotten that Tetris existed until I met PetitPrince. He was a hardcore player then. He played a lot and, since I liked watching, he installed Texmaster on my computer. (It was in April 2008 I think) I tried playing, but found the Novice mode boring and went to Death mode instead, which was more exiting (for me at least). I sucked, but who didn't at first? It's been two years since, and I've improved a bit since then, even though my technique is a bit off. I'm a great survivor (not a very good thing against someone, if you ask me...). 2. What Tetris games do you play and how much do you play daily on average? Until recently (three weeks, to be exact), I only had Texmaster installed, but TGM2 is now it's neighboor on my desktop. I play almost exclusively Sudden and Sudden Ti (my favorites ). As for my daily playing, it depends on the amount of work I have. It goes from five minutes to more than an hour in total (I usually play a few games (Sudden, so it's short), do something else for a while, and when I get bored, I go back to playing). 3. What other games besides Tetris keep you busy? Tetris is my one and only, except if you count studying as a game. 4. Any other block/puzzle game you recommend I should look into? Tetris variants are also welcome. See previous answer. That's about it for me. I'll be posting my last records, so check it out Thank you Suohfei P.S: Please forgive any grammar mistakes... It's been a while since I've written anything in english.
