Hi Score Comp #32: Tetris *With modded coin mechs as prizes*

Pages: << < (4/7) > >>

I usually consider myself pretty good at Tetris but this version

I hate this version of Tetris!

Only being able to rotate the blocks counter-clockwise is so frustrating.  I find that when playing NES Tetris I usually rotate clockwise so the only way I could manage getting the 79,935 that I did was having MAME Mirror the screen and reversing the controls.  I might try again once I calm down but man, do I wish this were an NES Hi Score Comp rather than a MAME one...

Jack Burton:

Very first try on my desktop with a keyboard.  Debating whether it will be better to play on the MAME setup or on this setup. 



I've always sucked at tetris so maybe this will be my chance to play the game for extensive periods of time.

I too yearn for a clockwise turn. 

DrFrag:

Played 11 games, and didn't score under 100K on any of them.  ;D

Best score: 169,340 (121 lines)

Most lines: 130 (120,961 points)

Zoiks!

Strategy questions:

1 - What starting level did you use?  I tend to use hard, because I'm not earning enough points by the time I hit the hard level (8?) when starting on easy or medium.

2 - Do you go for max combos (multiple lines finished simultaneously) or do you go for highest round bonus (by having the lowest remaining bricks) or do you stretch out each round to get the most points from dropping more blocks?


Thanks,

DrFrag:

I start on Hard, and play for speed.  I don't go for combos, round bonuses or stretching out each round.  Maybe I should.  :laugh:

I'll record an INP next time.  I think it gets a little easier after round 12, because there's no random blocks or advancing rows.
