YSK if you've seen something traumatic, playing Tetris for a couple of hours afterwards can drastically reduce the chance of it becoming a deeprooted memory and causing PTSD

  After reading this I thought there must be a nice and simple Tetris game in the play store. Boy was I wrong. I think some guy has a “block puzzle” empire and has just rereleased the same tetris clone game a hundred times. And official Tetris is a total abomination of unlocks and achievements.

  Bummer.

    I went through a similar thing, conclusion I came to was that as Tetris is so popular, the owners of the IP have it on lockdown… it is quite a specific IP that’s kinda hard to do something similar-but-the-same.

    Options I came up with were pirating a copy, or xbox game pass (iirc Tetris Effect is available there). Or… are there any Gameboy emulators that run on mobile?

      There’s as many gb emulators as possible, for a while i used nostalgia emulator (great ui and functional save state feature) but you can also run retroarch and other multiemulators. The one thing you need is the rom, but that is another story.

    There are three main Tetris games as far as playability goes. Classic Tetris for NES where you play with your foot
    Tetris effect where handling and graphics are decent Tetr.io where speed is everything

    Notable mentions Tetris 99 - tetris for Nintendo switch PuyoPuyo tetris - sometimes you play puyopuyo sometimes you play tetris

    Everything else is basically irrelevant

    Yeah the ip is very terribly maintained. Imo the best game is an fangame, tetr.io

  When’s the study coming out about Tetris Attack? Because I feel that would just increase your stress.

  I’ve actually been playing Tetris non stop since the first Trump mug shot post I saw, my stress level dropped, I almost forgot it… Then I came back and the second post I saw was a Trump mugshot… Back to the drawing board.

    Sadly, I think we’re going to see that picture a lot over the years. I hope the next defining image of him features a jumpsuit that matches his spray tan.

      the meaning behind the picture will ultimately depend on the verdict. what it shows now is that no one is above the law.

  I remembered as a bored primary school kid circa 2004 discovering my dad’s old OG Game Boy from 1989 and playing the hell out of the bundled Tetris game.

  That is not what “the Tetris Effect” means. :P

  It’s only a mild brainwashed.
