Without the Gameboy and more important versions it feels incomplete as a history of Tetris

muito bom

As someone who remembers playing Tetris on their old monster grey gameboy during many car and bus rides, and then again in the arcade in our college student center, this collection definitely scratches the Tetris itch in the way that a lot of the free versions floating around steam do not.

First of all, while Tetris Forever obviously does not include any Nintendo versions, the 1989 Mode on Tetris Time Warp is a pretty faithful recreation of the gameboy version, and aside from missing a few nostalgic sound effects is just as fun.

As for console versions, obviously it also would have been impossible to include the superior (but sadly illegal) Tengen Tetris, but the original famicom version benefits from now allowing controller remapping, making it much more playable. The real highlight, however, is the Chunsoft-developed Tetris 2 (the best of the sequels to my mind) which features a fantastic 8-bit Tetris, as well as bombliss! There are also a few 16 bit revisions of this game, in addition to the multiplayer focused Tetris Battle Gaiden.

You also have the Pajitnov sequels/spinoffs of Welltris and Hatris, and even a recreation of the original Tetris game created on the Elektronika Soviet Microcomputer!

Of course, the collection is not totally comprehensive, but not having the Genesis or CD-i versions of Tetris, for example, is not a huge loss. It's also possible that there might be a few more updates to this collection at some point.

To be honest, some of these games are more of a novelty than anything I will spend much time on, but assuming you enjoy Tetris more than just to kill time while on an airplane, there is a good chance you will be spending a lot of time with at least a few games on this (frequently heavily discounted collection). There is also a nice documentary that is well-worth watching at least once. All things considered, it's hard not to recommend, assuming you really love Tetris and have nostalgia for some of the older versions.
