You are so right, it is very wrong. I haven't played Tetris in a long time! I miss the annoying music.

Holy crap. That is for some serious time-killing capacity.

On my widescreen monitor I think I could sit here for an hour with the enter key pressed and not lose the game.

omg. I played this forever, then paused, which has a countdown clock of 5 min. I unpaused only to find that it doesn't let you pause again. Then I got unnerved and screwed up! :p

For the record, I left this running when I left work yesterday. So about 13.5 hours between then and my return this morning.

I still had not lost and this is what resulted:

Ooh, pretty. And you still hadn't lost?!

You seem to be right.

How long would it take to finish?

We stlll don't know! Well, no, wait. Caddie lost, right? So if you rush it (actually play) how long does it take, CP?

That's kind of where I am too. I have the time right now, but not the patience. Plus, I still don't feel like it's Tetris without the music and the severe time constraint. I know I have my old Tetris game somewhere, but I could never find my old Game Boy, though I know it is lurking somewhere around here. Do they make it for Nintendo DS? I should know that!

Yes they have it for DS, at least you used to be able to get it.

I'm pretty sure Tetris has been ported to any device remotely capable of creating the illusion of movement through pixels.

Yep. You're right. (http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/SHMfI4-pd_DDhbjpYkb631-LunYD1UhC)

I guess so.

She didn't lose. She just placed a piece wrong in a quest to get just one line finished and quit after that.

The DS Tetris is great! It's got charmingly retro Nintendo characters. (old school Mario, Link, etc.) it also has online options, which I have never explored. flippyshark sez: Check it out!

Magic Rocks! I love those. Did them as a kid and then with my kids. I wonder how they work... never looked... and now I must.

The only way to lose at Tetris is to have the pile touch the top of the screen. In real Tetris, the pieces come down the middle every time, so you can lose really quickly. In this version they come down randomly, across a humongous field, so it would take. a. while.

GD's right, I did not lose, I quit. I would like to finish one row and see how long that takes. I'd bet 25 minutes.
