Tetris (Game Boy) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of Nintendo's 1989 puzzle game for the Nintendo Game Boy, Tetris.

This video shows both endings. First I play A-Type mode (endless, play until you lose game) and last until level 12. My score broke 100,000 so I got the rocket launch ending.

At 12:52, I play B-Type mode (get 25 lines on a board already partially filled) at Level 9, Height 5. Clearing 25 lines shows the space shuttle launch ending. You also can get this ending in A-Type if you clear a score of 200,000.

It really says something for Tetris when Nintendo gave it away as the pack-in title instead of Super Mario Land. It was a great move - the game is perfectly suited to the Game Boy in every way. Who would've though Bulletproof would've given Nintendo one of their all-time greatest hits?

Did anyone not love it? I got my Gameboy for Christmas when they were brand new, and Tetris had my attention way more than the other four games I got with it for the first few weeks, including Mario.

But really, what does anybody remember more about this game than its music? It's probably just as universally recognizable as the Mario theme song - not bad for a puzzle game.

There’s something about the game boy version of Tetris that’s so satisfying. No other version of Tetris is like it.

I m here after I ve watched "TETRIS" the movie...!!! Such nostalgia

[TrYED]

The perfect pack in game for the gameboy because even parents at the time loved playing this game even more so than their kids.

Best part - playing it in your mind when you try to sleep after an 8 hour marathon on Christmas day

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.

This game was great! Simple but the music made it so memorable.

I still have my Game boy and played Tetris tonight. It's just as much fun as always.

Oh, memories. This was our only game for an entire year after we got a Game Boy when I was a kid.

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!

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

[giuliograndi]

Difficult to think about something better... Awesome from all the points of view. Thanks also for putting this online!

“DOT MATRIX WITH STEREO SOUND”. This is by far the single phrase/words I layed eyes upon the most times in my life.
