modern Tetris on Game Boy: Rosy Retrospection romhack!
1Playing GB Tetris in Mesen, with the Rosy Retrospection modernization romhack and a color tweak so the BG color doesn't scorch my eyeballs!

Modern Tetris play with wall kick and super rotation system and ghost piece and all that is easier than the less forgiving "classic" Tetris of the NES--but with the faster pace given by hard drop and so forth, it's also kinda more stressful! ; D But it plays really well and I can't seem to shake it as a fun and viable alternate flavor to the more chill NES Tetris. And you can play it with GB Tetris aesthetics--which I don't like quite as much as NES Tetris, but which I still like way more than any other Tetris ^ _^--with the Rosy Retribution romhack. And although GB Tetris' light background was kinda burning my eyeballs with prolonged play, I finally realized that if I switch BG color 1 to a sort of medium color, like this mauve (7A7FFF), then my eyeballs SEEM--so far--pretty okay with it (the default grey GB palette in Mesen didn't see too bad, either, although maybe with time my eyes might find it slightly more work to focus on its somewhat faded out tones, I dunno; I'd been using the "high contrast" palette 8o).
Anyway I for now it looks like GB Tetris with the Rosy Retribution romhack and a palette tweak in Mesen will be my modern Tetris flavor. : )
