Haha good times for me it was when I was 9 years old 1994 but it was with yoshis world on Super Nintendo on Christmas Eve.. shit I had dreams of that shit that lasted for years it seemed lol
You should read the book "Game Over" by David Sheff, they have a whole chapter on how Nintendo negotiated their rights to get this game exclusive for Nintendo back then (before they turned to grade A assholes) in post Communist Russia when it started to open it market to the world and meeting with Alexey guy
It _was_ their flagship game that "sold" the Game Boy. I have a feeling they spent a large amount of time and money getting that game just right...the theme music alone sold the device and forever made a memory in not only myself but almost every child who grew up in the 90s.
I mean, tetris NES is like it, but most people who are into classic Tetris prefer NES. I think when you get used to any game, changing the frame data around will make it feel really off. It's more just what you're used to
This style of game is also just perfect for a compact handheld. A full Pokémon or Zelda adventure to take with you is great, but it's more commitment to play the game, you don't drop into and out of them on an instant like you can do with Tetris. If smartphones started featuring a little foldout/slide-out gamepad as common feature, or one which you could attach, but which kept a slim and flat form factor (rather than those big ones where you basically clamp your phone on top of a full fledged console gamepad), I think games like these could get a lot of popularity again. Kids are used to playing with touch screens, but these kinds of games just play better with buttons, and there's a lot of older people who played games in the past who would be far more inclined to play them on a phone if they could have normal buttons.
My Russian student first got the rocket in the early 90s. The whole family were proper impressed. After that I played for hours and hours to get that bloody rocket! Took ages but I did it. Nothing quite like it when you get the rocket!
Tetris did come with the GameBoy device in my case and actually that was the deal my parents got me to: Not ask for an extra game. Good friends would always share their cartridges though! Missed that feeling of community..
I'm not mad because I don't really care that much about the end but put a spoiler alert so people won't be rude and stuff in the replies because you spoiled it
OMG, this brings me back to many late nights with my game-boy light playing one of the best Tetris Versions ever! Nostalgia Overload! This guy plays like me too! Lolz! Similar style and only plays game A and Game B Lv9 Ht5! Brings me back! Thanks for making this vid!
Taste like hours of awesone fun. I want to cry. I still have my first and only Game Boy... but its dead... in her own same box in my old house attic. It is too fragile. Like good memories are.
I still have my original cartridge. Still play'n it on a Gameboy advanced. I remember getting the original Gameboy for Christmas, I think it was in 90. Only game I had was Tetris. Turned out the only game I needed was Tetris. I remember thinking," Yeah if I get a Gameboy for Christmas, then I'll get some better games later on." I eventually did get some other stuff, but I always mostly just kept playing Tetris.
@@dennismartin5821 i still have mine too. It was second hand and it was a present from a cousin from overseas in february 1992. Sadly stopped reading cartridges since 2003. But i assure that was enjoyed a lot not only by me but also my mother, brother, cousins and friends. Yeah back in the days kids share and take good care of toys. (Tetris, Donkey Kong, yoshi and a f-1 racing game). A reached lv 14 in tetris btw.😤
I just found my old Nintendo game boy along with some games mk3, Bart vs juggernauts, tmnt 3 radical rescue, and tetris I remember playing so much with them good simple life I used to had
Can never recreate that OG feeling with any of the other versions. Anyone else tempted to just buy a Gameboy, and superglue the cartridge right into the slot? You all know you're not going to need anything else. The Gameboy was literally The Tetris Machine - and it still is. No other version of it satisfies; this version was the premium timeless classic, that people will still be playing in the ruins of the post apocalypse. They will be playing it on Mars. It is The Dream incarnate, a work of art, given life.
The Gameboy version is the best Tetris. The music and sound is so perfectly done. You can feel the limitations of the Gameboy, like when the Tetris fall, the music is distorted by the soundeffect.
And do you remember that when you connected 2 game boys together with the cable for 2 player mode you increased the height of your opponents blocks when you got a 4 liner!
@@gboy64It was a SNES cart that you could put your Gameboy game in and play it on the SNES. That might be the name, but it's been so long I can't remember
I had the original! Tetris was all I had and I beat it hundreds of times just to see the old school reward with the space shuttle launch after the last level, lol. I accidentally dropped it in the washing machine with the kids laundry and destroyed it. Hubby bought me another. 😆😆😆
I came to this video to tell you that they used footage of this Tetris video that you made on the Dutch news and they credited you 🙂 I thought I should notify you as maybe this news can bright up your day 💜
I have Tetris DX cartridge for my GB boy colour and my clone GB colour has Tetris (original ) built in. my Grandma used to play Tetris all the time on here gameboy color.
Just wondering… How in the name of Creation did you manage to capture your original Game Boy in this amazing quality? D’you have any special equipment (as in: cables, AV consoles, etc.) for it? I have both my original Game Boys in perfect working order (no batteries are currently installed) and would like to try this for myself if feasible… Great video!
need to find of copy of Tetris for my NES because all my game consoles mist have a Tetris game because Tetris is one of my favorite games and remained never to play you at Tetris I would lose
ratchet5500 video's If you want the really good one on the NES (and can find it at a semi-reasonable price), get the Tengen version. It's quite a bit better than Nintendo's one.
As a blind person, I could say that Tetris was completely inaccessible if you tried to use its sounds to play, for obvious reasons. In that sense, Super Mario Land 2 was much better; at least I could use the background musics' rhythms to go through the levels by trial and error.
POV: It’s a boring Monday at home after school, so you decide to get your GAMEBOY, your Mom and Dad are wondering where the double A batteries went, (maybe) your grandma is making you snacks while you play while standing at the window to get that perfect ray of sunlight in order to see, your score is so high, that even you, a Nintendo gaming master, are in disbelief, everything is perfect.
+Jack Lazzaro Blue is in green, so that certainly seems reasonable. The darker the green is, the less yellow will be apparent, right? I think that's how it goes?

Best part - playing it in your mind when you try to sleep after an 8 hour marathon on Christmas day
I dont care that was me as well.
Same here, That’s the “Tetris Effect”!

@@louiejames626 don’t leave your gameboy up all night… it will take a problem!
-bubbergus
Who plays a gameboy for 8 hours straight? I'm lucky if it holds my attention for more than 30 minutes
It doesn't get much more iconic than Tetris. It wasn't just a game - it was a phenomenon, and it launched the Game Boy in a huge way.
NintendoComplete you ever going to do a voice or something for these?
Ninja Master I dunno. Maybe? Probably not.

Hanferd I have, it was a great read
There’s something about the game boy version of Tetris that’s so satisfying. No other version of Tetris is like it.
I've been playing the original gameboy cartridge I got in 1989 constantly during the lockdown

I PLAY TETRIS ON A TV!
WITHOUT ANY CONSOLE

Ah the goddamn cursed memories. No, seriously goddamn that! Satifactory is a headache for sure.
I m here after I ve watched "TETRIS" the movie...!!! Such nostalgia
The perfect pack in game for the gameboy because even parents at the time loved playing this game even more so than their kids.

My sister was an adult at the time, and she bought a gameboy just to play this game.
I love tttttteeettttrrriiiisss
Bravo Tetris
I know teriris was a rußian invetor was rußian iventor.
I love this litteratur blurry.
But Nintendo game boy.
😊
Probably the most addictive game ever made. Awesome
That song is like honey for my ears.
Agreed, it's sweet.
it's evil for me !
I know
Sweet Jesus Pooh! Thats not honey! Thats... Tetris song 😌
wtf
I’m getting one of these !!! I was born 1980, I used to addicted to this game!!! Played it for hours on end. 2019 now
This game was great! Simple but the music made it so memorable.
Song of nostalgia right there.
... I miss my Gameboy...
My Russian student first got the rocket in the early 90s. The whole family were proper impressed. After that I played for hours and hours to get that bloody rocket! Took ages but I did it. Nothing quite like it when you get the rocket!
Oh, memories. This was our only game for an entire year after we got a Game Boy when I was a kid.
Tetris did come with the GameBoy device in my case and actually that was the deal my parents got me to: Not ask for an extra game. Good friends would always share their cartridges though! Missed that feeling of community..
I got one brand new too. I only had 3 games Tetris, the Mario that had wario in it and attack of the killer 🍅 tomatoes
16 minutes of Nostalgia 😃😎😃
Ikr
nostalgia? tetris is still really big af
@@justahater69 nop but it did got a movie
I still have my Game boy and played Tetris tonight. It's just as much fun as always.
0:03 *NOSTALGIA* 🥺
That sound brings back so many memories 😩
Me too
I beat this game a lot as a kid on the other mode if you beat it at the end the Space shuttle takes off
Hey, whoa, spoilers.
I'm not mad because I don't really care that much about the end but put a spoiler alert so people won't be rude and stuff in the replies because you spoiled it
Difficult to think about something better... Awesome from all the points of view. Thanks also for putting this online!
I just went back 30 years. Thanks
“DOT MATRIX WITH STEREO SOUND”. This is by far the single phrase/words I layed eyes upon the most times in my life.
OMG, this brings me back to many late nights with my game-boy light playing one of the best Tetris Versions ever!
Nostalgia Overload!
This guy plays like me too! Lolz!
Similar style and only plays game A and Game B Lv9 Ht5!
Brings me back! Thanks for making this vid!
When i was a child my dad got the rocket and i was so much impressed xD
This game is so much fun! I play it on my dads game boy and I can’t stop having fun
Such greatness in this playthrough! I only got the rocket not the space shuttle and dancers. 😭
I haven’t seen that green screen since 1999. But it sure does look good doesn’t it.
+Adam Mehra It seriously does :)

This really makes me want to buy a game boy just to play Tetris anywhere like at school or in cars or even in stores.
I Recommend it. I Enjoy Playing Tetris on My GameBoy Advance SP and GameBoy Player.
I still have my original gameboy from back in 1989
this video made me smile and maybe shed a tear or two:)
So simple, yet such a fun and addictive concept. Tetris is timeless.
Many hours spent playing this, stuff all the modern games, this is an all time great, such a simple concept too.
I just suddenly needed to hear that weird noise when you get a Tetris on game boy. That’s why I love TH-cam
The First Game I ever Played.
Oswald Epic Loquendero Me too
me too, with teen age mutant ninja turtles
I just found my old Nintendo game boy along with some games mk3, Bart vs juggernauts, tmnt 3 radical rescue, and tetris
I remember playing so much with them good simple life I used to had
Tetris is an absolute must.. But Tetris handheld ?? Absolute genius.
Never forget that music
I like the original green screen effect that you did, the gameboy often comes with this screen
Came here after watching the Tetris movie
Haha original Nintendo Tetris that came with the Game Boy on release.
Green backgrounds with no colour love it thank you!

both this and the nes are some of the rare prefect games
Nice music Tetris in GB Classic.
I got Tetris DX (for GB Color) a while back, and was disappointed that it didn't have the original music.
I was today years old when I learnt that tetris had an ending
I cant believe i watched til the end
A classic. Love it.
I love this game and the b type music is best because it's very up beat!.
The Gameboy version is the best Tetris. The music and sound is so perfectly done. You can feel the limitations of the Gameboy, like when the Tetris fall, the music is distorted by the soundeffect.
NES version too, also Sega version is good and the Japanese arcade one
Tetris back then: simple
Teris now: T-spin go brrrrrr
Tetris movie brought me here
Thanks for sharing this. It brought back many good memories of my first game addiction 😂
Tetris is now available along with 6-7 other games with a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online
😢 my childhood
The first game i ever owned. The memories.....
And do you remember that when you connected 2 game boys together with the cable for 2 player mode you increased the height of your opponents blocks when you got a 4 liner!
Im feeling so old
A Gameboy that actually worked. Wow! Ecen with the David Center music in it. Thats Awesome!
Those were the days......
Early 90s nostalgia! Tetris and Gameboy. Now it's iPhones and Twitter.
OMG I have the same game boy as this guy does!
Some great Tetris-ing!
I miss this game so much!
14:41 WOW i love this song so much i want to hear it 50 times in a day🔊🎧🎶🎵🎻🎸😄
This was my first introduction to Tetris. I used to put it in that cartridge that fit into the SNES!
Super Gameboy for the SNES allowed you to play gameboy games. It that you were thinking? 🤔
I Love Playing this on the GameCube.
@@gboy64It was a SNES cart that you could put your Gameboy game in and play it on the SNES. That might be the name, but it's been so long I can't remember

Ratchet5500 videos if you would like one for a cheaper than usual price, if you do online shopping, I’d check eBay. That’s where I got mine :)
I Just got this Game Yesterday. It’s Addictive.
Güzel bir çocukluk geçirdim için çok mutluyum 😊
That is so SATISFYING
I have it at home
Bro so many memories on the toliet playing this
I still have this one and it's still operational. Miner pack is MMPR the movie, Tetris und F -1 racing.
As a blind person, I could say that Tetris was completely inaccessible if you tried to use its sounds to play, for obvious reasons. In that sense, Super Mario Land 2 was much better; at least I could use the background musics' rhythms to go through the levels by trial and error.
And they're making a movie about how this game was approved for Gameboy
And now we have a legendary skin for T99 :D
That looks so much easier than the Tetris I have lol

That was some very weird game over sound. Do you agree?

Nostalgic❤im 34 now. I was playing this game when i was 12 😂😊😅
Wait Tetris is completable?
Game Boy: _Always has been buddy._ *hugs*
Pressing pause in the middle of the game got a slight variation in the music as well
Retro gaming!
What is the song called that's played at 12:43??? I love that one
So the story behind this is pretty crazy huh? Anyone else here after watching the movie?
Which movie?
3:20 Can i have a long one pleeease? Why must these infernal blocks tease?
Good job on your high score
14:54 - is this Buran shuttle?)
yeah, I got that rocket a few times, back then in the early 1990's 🥰
The Game Boy is 30 TODAY! So is this game!
I was playing this today, put Gameboy on pause, when I unpaused it, had 2 little super Mario faces on the screen, and game froze!
Why is this so saticfying?
is no one gonna talk about the cursed sounds
I recently got a gameboy color and Tetris for like 15 bucks, and that folks is how you spend money...
Lets go i have my tetris cart waiting for my gbc
Now I see why Tetris amazing
0:14 I'm starting to think that 3 of the 4 shades of green are more blue than green, including the "black".
+Jack Lazzaro Blue is in green, so that certainly seems reasonable. The darker the green is, the less yellow will be apparent, right? I think that's how it goes?
