I still have my OG 90s GameBrick around here someplace… I hope I didn’t leave batteries in it when I stuck it in storage, because that’s gotta be gnarly by now if I did
It’s the only “right” way to experience Tetris – no colors, no backlight, and a screen whose refresh rate is eventually slower than the movement of the falling pieces some time after about level 12. And, ironically, the best BattleToads soundtrack, even if the game was ass.
Fuck yeah it is, hardware limitations and all. The NES and arcade versions always felt a little off after learning on the GameBrick.
My first serious post-high-school girlfriend’s mom hated me because I beat her high score on the NES version while being mauled by a pair of very large, very needy cats. I remember being disappointed that I didn’t even break half a million, and it’s really hard to explain that using a higher starting difficulty gives you an almost exponential increase in overall score while you’ve got tufts of Domestic Longhair fluff stuck to your mouth.
