What is Tetris (set 2, Japan, System 16B, FD1094 317-0092)?

Tetris is a classic puzzle game enjoyed by gamers for decades since its inception. This Japanese edition of the System 16B setup is a rare and nostalgic jewel from bygone days. The game follows the classic setup of randomly falling geometric shapes that a player must rotate and move so that a horizontal line without any gaps is formed. After the completion of a line, that line downright vanishes, and points are rewarded to the player. Then the game gets faster and more difficult, starrying down to one's reflexes and wit. It is the juxtaposition of easy and hard with which the players are drawn forever.

How To Play

A few easy controls require some correctness. With the D-pad, you will move the falling piece to the left or right, or you can rotate the piece clockwise or counterclockwise. Also, use the button to speed up falling if necessary. Try to clear as many lines before the stack reaches top of the screen. Each line grants the player more points. It is the game-over when the stack reaches its maximum capacity.

Tips and tricks

• Always think ahead: Plan your moves for at least two or three moves ahead whenever possible so that you can perform multiple line clears at once.
• Use Hard Drop: Drop pieces immediately hard into place when in a tight situation to make some space.
• Line clear strategy: Focus on clearing lines that help either free up space or contribute to potential combos.
• Stay Calm: Do not panic once the speed gains an increase. Keep cool and trust your capability.

History

The history of Tetris goes back to 1984 when Alexey Pajitnov developed it at the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Tetris is a combination word from "tetromino," which are the shapes used in the game, plus "tennis," which was the name of Pajitnov's favorite sport. The name fed popularity into the game in the Soviet Union, and it then spread throughout the world, eventually becoming a much-loved game in history. This version is a real pet to find for the System 16B, bearing testament to the that separate strand of Tetris culture.
