Love seeing your reviews for these tiny arcade cabinets.
It's good to know that they're continuously updating this lineup with nicer LCDs and more games.

However, I personally feel that the older version of this is a much better pick (for Tetris specifically) because the screen on it looks pretty sharp and surprisingly colourful that fits nicely with the surrounding art compared to the LCD and this so so interface of the ROM. Also these colours don't really seem to add much for the experience with Tetris and helps make the older one feel more retro.

The tall and black cabinet also looks better than the shortened red body. I've received the older model for my birthday and I thoroughly enjoy mine.

Good video! Game looks like its fun on the mini-arcade cabinet! I may have to pick one of these up!

The version of "Korobeiniki" that plays in the background sounds pretty good. It just wouldn't be Tetris without that song. 🎶🇷🇺

The first version is the best Tetris game I’ve ever played. I love its simplicity.

FINALLY! Tetris got a Walmart Version! I feel like making one into Dr. Mario.

I collect the World’s Smallest series of arcade cabinets and tables, and have nothing but praise to say about them...

Nice video. I always wanted one of he tiny little wallet game versions of tetris. Sadly I can't find them anymore. So this might be a good substitute.

Hi! I also have this and the sound is great but whenever I turn it on the screen is white, how can I fix this?

This version of Tetris is unique to this mini-arcade, though it's obviously influenced by the arcade version.

I still prefer the Tengen/Atari version of Tetris for the NES.
