Tetris game

Hmm... very hard to get up to auperne's level. One thing I did realise though, the higher the level game you choose to play, the more points awarded for an eliminated line. But I suppose you all knew that anyway.

Any hints auperne??

Spark takes the lead in Tetris

After 6 days at the top, we now have a new leader in Tetris. Spark shows auperne there is a challenge out there.

Both you guys must have a fast brain and high IQ!! I really didn't think anyone would be auperne.

Tetris game

Scotty has now taken the lead. His game lasted only 296 seconds! Wow.... auperne who held the lead for 6 days, has now succumbed to 4th position.

PAN is also doing a wonderful job, slowly improving. Practice makes perfect.

Good news is that we all still have 1 month left before the Tetris winner is decided.

Auperne has now taken his place back at the top.

When I was younger I used to live, eat and sleep Tetris.

By far best game ever made

Cheers.

Most important part of playing tetris is not playing with the piece on the screen but watching the next piece in the bottom right corner, always be one step ahead.

This tetris is actually a little harder than others, can't slide the pieces once dropped, that was a trick in the original if you hit the buttons quick enough.

Cheers.

How to win at Tetris

Aparently the idea is to build up the blocks and eliminate about 5 or so lines at once. That's how you get the most points.

I used to eliminate 1 row at a time, but that's not the real tactic at how to win at tetris.

Hats off to you auperne for such a great score! Another 3 weeks to go, and let's see if the money is yours??

Tetris prize money

Well congrats so far shemadeitforme! Don't know how you did it. auperne has been the undisputed winner so far and I really thought no-one would give him a run for his money.

Yes, if by July 31st you are the top scorer, the US$200 is yours!

Anyway, good luck with things.
