I won a Tetris game for a Game Boy Color from this seller. It was shipped and received in a very timely manner. I highly recommend this seller. Easy payment and fast shipment!
This is such a great game because it is similar to the original Tetris game...........down to the displays after your score is tallied (e.g. rockets being launched, etc.) Also, I like the additional types of games you can play as well as the saving option. The graphic are a lot better, too. No review has mentioned this yet but Tetris DX will ALSO work with the Super Gameboy for the Super Nintendo, although the Tetris DX's graphics are not displayed as well through the Super Gameboy. The only drawback to this game is the crappy music! I wished the publisher would have stayed tue to the Tetris theme and used the original music. You know, it is a Russian game after all.
I was given a GameBoy Color by a friend and enjoy playing Tetris on line. I live In Manhattan and went to a few stores to find Tetris for the GameBoy and no store stocked the item. I was advised to try eBay and found this Tetris cartridge which I purchased. I wanted this game which is very addictive and I wanted it to be portable so I wouldn't have to always rely on a computer to play it. Now, when I get a seat on the subway, I simply take out my GameBoy and play it. What I really like about this item is that it offers different ways to play Tetris more than what I was used to when playing on line. Paying for the purchase was very secure as I used PayPal and the cartridge arrived in a few days very securely packed. I just wish that the seller would have sent the cartridge with a plastic holder. BUT I AM VERY SATISFIED AND PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE.
I left positive email for them and emailed at least 2 time if they could please leave feed back for me and never got an answer nor feedback that is not a great way to run a business. the auction was about 6 weeks ago thats enough time to leave feedback or answer email.
This is a phenominal game that is one of the defining games of the series. It has the simplicity of the original but has better response and functionality. There are multiple modes but marathon is the true way to play.
I love the game, my mother loves the game, my siblings love the game. It is such a hit in a family of teenagers, that my father HIDES the game, because we are so addicted to playing it. If you're prepared to lose MANY HOURS because time is not relevant when you're playing the game, then BUY IT.
If you like puzzles you will like this game. It's a game that not only me but my father can sit and play for hours on end. We've actually played it for so long at one time that the batteries went dead.
I was looking for a portable version of the (old school) NES version of Tetris. I've played Tetris Worlds and was pretty disappointed --> can't believe the greatest game of all time could be messed up so bad. This is a pure version of Tetris... true to the Tetris roots. It also saves your top scores... A++++++++++++

Tetris DX: It's Never, Ever The Same Game Twice!
Review created: 01/25/05
by: Freak369 -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Entertaining, never the same game twice, up to three player slots.
Cons: Highly addictive.
I am addicted to Tetris. There, I said it. I have the PlayStation version [Tetris Gold] and that s fun to play but I really like the GameBoy DX version a lot better. Sure you don t get as much with it but it s handheld and you can take it pretty much anywhere. This is a great game to get is you have the GameBoy Color system and you can find it used for about ten dollars, new for about sixteen. I picked mine up used when I traded in a bunch of games that we no longer played so I got it for free. Sadly it didn t come with a manual so I had to learn the specifics about the game through trial and.

Pros: Maybe the most addictive video game ever and now it's even better!
Cons: The new music is much worse though.
Here is a review of one of my favorite Video Games! TETRIS DX for GameBoy Color Now we can finally save our high scores!" Although I loved the original Tetris for the original Gameboy there was no save option to record your best score after playing the A Type game for hours so this alone is a welcome change in Tetris DX but don't worry, Nintendo added even more stuff to a already great game. Like past Tetris game you must move around falling pieces of blocks so you can make lines and get points. What has changed is you now have the choice of 5 different modes. The modes in Tetris DX includes..

Addicted to Tetris DX
Review created: 05/11/00
by: cosmogirl -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Hours of fun, 4 different modes of play
Cons: Lengthy scenes after 40 lines
I admit it, I love Tetris. I've been playing it since I was a little girl. I remember begging my parents to let me stay up a bit later just to finish whatever game I was playing at the time. Over the past few years, I haven't played much...mostly because my Nintendo (yes, the old one!!!) finally stopped working after all these years. I recently picked up a used Color Gameboy at work for a great price and guess what was the first game I tried??? Yes, it was Tetris DX. I get 5 free rentals a week and each week I use it on this game. I was addicted from the very beginning. Tetris DX offers 4...

A great Addition To The Tetris Series
Review created: 05/06/00
by: RaZerBlade -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Great color, great movement, and cool features. Plus it is a Tetris game!
Cons: NONE!
Well, Tetris has always been one of favorite games if not my favorite. So when I got a Game Boy color this was the first game I bought. One reason was because I loved the original Tetris and Tetris DX was in color so it should be even better. Then when I played it I thought to myself darn this game is very fun and extremely hard to put down. At first this game might seem a little hard if you haven't played a Tetris game before, but if you have it is pretty easy. This game isn't just the original Tetris with color it has other features besides that. It has Marathon which is the original Tetris.

Tetris again
Review created: 01/03/00

Pros: portable, in color
Cons: hard on eyes
I love this game. I can't really say why. I mean all you're doing is just placing the little blocks next to the other little blocks to make them go away. Nothing blows up, the graphics are plain, and everything comes from the top, down. A simple concept, but hard to put down. I've tried playing other games on Nintendo 64 and Gameboy but I always come back to Tetris. I imagine it's because it's easy to play. You don't have to worry about any special moves and there's only one button you have to push to change the direction of the falling blocks. Anyone can play this game, it's great.
