Watch his hands during the video ... I didnt' catch it but my best friend did ... if you JUST watch his hands it MUST be in fast motion.  Some of the movements are just to jerky in appearance.   I'm a skeptic I guess.

OH MAN! They cut it off right before it hits the top. Once I started watching I couldn't turn away... Just like the old arcades, even without quarters the arcades were a cool place to be.

What? You mean y'all can't play Tetris like that? I figured everybody could. At least I can.  ;) j/k

Best score I ever got was like a 204.  :P

So...why hasn't this game even made it to the list of Unmamed games here: unmamed.mame.net (http://unmamed.mame.net) ??  I see "Tetris the Grandmaster" but according to this video, the game being played is "Tetris the Grandmaster 2" or "the Absolute Plus 2" in Japanese maybe.  Anyways, this video has a timestamp from 2001 on it, so it's not like it's a new game or anything...
