Bucket Posted November 13, 2004 http://www.state.nj.us/lottery/ The New Jersey Lottery adopted Tetris as their new game. You can pick up tickets at stores to play a game. You can win $10,000!! I don't know about you guys, but I regularly hit levels in the double-digits, and my record is almost 500 lines. /me goes to the gas station. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lutrov71 Posted November 13, 2004 I don't play tetris. Don't think I'm that good at it either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted November 13, 2004 My best score in the Game Boy version is around 350,000. All other versions are wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post
david_a Posted November 13, 2004 I have a Radio Shack "Stack Challenge" (basically just a hand-held LCD game that plays Tetris, nothing else) and I managed to max out the score last summer. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arioch Posted November 13, 2004 I've made it to level 20+ on the GB tetrises. My highest score was something north of 500k. I'd have to put myself back into "the zone" to repeat that achievement tho. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
pilottobombadier Posted November 13, 2004 I only have tetris worlds, and its score is in lines :( So I couldn't tell you. Plus the game makes you rush, which pisses me off. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tetris Worlds was an overall sucky game. Heh, we were having this discussion last night about games being more complex than they had to be. If everything about the Tetris design is simple, putting complicated shit in there is only going to take away from it. People will buy the game and wonder which button to press just so they can play REGULAR TETRIS. Plus multiplayer was borked. What a turd. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkhaven Posted November 13, 2004 Last time I played I had something around 290k. EDIT: 292,350 0 Share this post Link to post

Actually, the MP was pretty cool, imo - the only time the time limit was worth anything, really. I never bothered with the other special modes except for square, which was kind of interesting. Buuuuut...in the end, I just went back to Morrowind :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Ralphis Posted November 15, 2004 I figured out that this little game is quite decieving. Check this line out off their website after you go to play the game with your tickets: "This game is an entertaining way to discover if you are holding a winning ticket. Your chances of winning are not affected by your performance in the game. As you play, the points you score by forming complete horizontal lines activate the Lottery Blocks on the right of the screen. As points are scored, the Lottery Blocks move up through the Lottery tube until a block is pushed completely out and its color is randomly revealed. The block is then placed into its corresponding Lottery Prize Tetrimino. There are a total of 15 lottery blocks to be obtained per ticket. Get the first 14 blocks by completing horizontal lines. The 15th and final block will be released and revealed after the first 14 blocks have already been obtained and the game ends. Obtain 4 lottery blocks of the same color to win the corresponding prize. Present your TetrisĀ® tickets to any New Jersey Lottery Retailer for validation and prize payment." I knew it was too good to be true 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Ronge Posted November 15, 2004 I always preferred "Columns" myself. Best score there : Somewhere around 100k. (Not too good, I admit) 0 Share this post Link to post
