This made me smile. It's Tetris with a custom home made display.

I feel like he sabotaged it with his choice of controls.

I know that lol

What I meant was that I had only ever played with a joystick & 2 buttons

Plus why have them so spread out?

I agree with Titch. Bad control selection and placement.

Actually, you're right.  They cant go down.  Joystick would be better.

Holding a button could be mapped to instantly dropping your brick. Not a big deal.

This whole site is dedicated to faithfully reproducing arcade games. "Not a big deal" isn't really part of our vocabulary. ;)

Nope, that's that other site.  This site is dedicated to building aircraft carrier frankenpanels with angled joysticks and yelling at people who angle joysticks, build frankenpanels, and make their panels unnecessarily large.
