Tetris: Review

This is the Famicom version of Tetris. Being the first version on a Nintendo home console, it has an unfamiliar control scheme that skilled players may not find to like. Unique features of this version are Lives (Yes, lives! You read it correctly!) which allow you to fail Three times before an actual Game Over, unique music and a mix of game modes A and B. If you're not familiar with the Famicom version control scheme (Rotation with down, hard drop with A), you should prpbably check out the sister game for the NES, not made by BPS but by Nintendo.
