Here's some gameplay of the game Tetris on the Nintendo Game Boy. This isn't my best game of it by any means, but I happened to be recording during this session, so here you go. I typically like to start at level 0 and build my way up to the faster speeds. It makes the games longer and lets you try to rack up as many tetrises as you can on the slower levels, but you have to know when to stop and switch to playing to survive only. In this particular session I was getting greedy and got caught at the faster levels with most of the screen filled. I usually like to have the screen cleared to the bottom by level 7 or 8. Once level 9 hits if you have half or more of the screen filled, you are usually pretty dead.

I find this tetris and the NES version to be much better than the newer versions that have been coming out. The DS versions of tetris cheapen the gameplay too much for my liking. I dont want any ability to rotate the tetris piece infinitely before it drops like in the newer Tetris versions. That isn't classic tetris to me and that is boring.
