38:55 - BLUR!
Well, I guess I got a new tiny high score, 67652 pts. 'p'
Zoomed the view in and realized the gosh darned blocks are blurry. Blurry 2D in new games has become my biggest pet peeve of late! There was that blurry Shanghai game, a blurring of some of the game with a certain setting in Zachtronics Solitaire Collection--and now someone had the gall to make a blurry Tetris game!!! RAWHWHGAHGHA
I mean it's not super blurry which I guess is why I didn't notice it before--also the pieces are just so darn small on the screen.
Well, count me out. Good thing I just found that super-smooth and free NES Tetris game, From Below. : D SUPER SHARP in the Mesen 2.0 emulator. : )))
(Also I've decided to go for a Sanni Cart Reader instead of an Analogue Super Nt, so that should be here in like a week and my GB Tetris should be too (plus I already have the Super Game Boy here, so, extra color palettes!), and then I'll have the real OG Tetris to play, if I can manage to get the cart reader working and all. = oo)

Update 2/22
This slightly-too-excited video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiL6U_iONN4 explains that the update to the game that just came out today adds a single-player Classic Score Attack mode, under the "Effect Modes" main menu item, and that now it has a leaderboard and the two-player one doesn't because one player could speed-play ahead and, since both players get the same succession of pieces, that could in theory allow the other player to see farther ahead than they're supposed to. Why anyone would bother I don't know, but anyway that's their excuse for not having a leaderboard for scores from the two-player CSA. : P
So I tried out the new single-player CSA (yes I had to reinstall after just having deleted the darn game), and the blocks are still small, dark, and slightly blurry. The tiny playfield is at least in the middle of the screen. But, I suppose because there's a leaderboard, you don't have the Match Options menu like you do in the Local Multiplayer CSA, where you can set stuff like the method of piece randomization; in the single-player CSA, it's just on uh well probably the "Classic" randomization method or whatever; definitely not 7-bag, anyway.
I got a new high score there--84,711--which put me at rank 69. : P Then I uninstalled the game again.
