    I dunno, where's Thor? We could see the battle of the ages.




  • Here's an early score to get things started - good choice for first game of the new block.



    81,201



  • Saw this title and my heart sunk.

    Robin it is, but let's all fight for 2nd....and those important participation points.

    See you Sat Robin?

    I saw Thor break the world record on a tengen machine last year at cowlitz. The "awesome" part about it was, the only reason Thor lost was because he got bored, started talking to a couple of us and gave up.

    That is awesome...




  • All I have for now, weak

    Nope...Missa has to work Friday night. Got no DD to get home.

    No worries, you know I am going to buy the DVD when it comes out. Speaking of..???




  • One of my better runs on this game.  I haven't gotten the hang of Level 19 yet, so this is right around my max.  Good luck to everyone!



    444,230

  • That's a nice score to shoot for Tom.



    As of myself, I love Tetris, but this is one of the game that I always believed I'm too average at to have any kind of pride to defend against anyone. I'll give it a few shots for fun, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to raise my play to a competing level among the experts.



    I seriously hope Robin and Thor will actually chime in with scores
  • Hope I can get some more time to play, I know I have broken 600k a few times (was a while ago though). Don't know if I've still got it, maybe not!
  • 486,500



  • Same. I definitely want to see some huge scores this week. It would be really cool if Robin and Thor play (or any other Tetris masters)!



    I think Tetris is one of those games that you have to play a LOT of to play well. I could never keep my interest long enough to put in the time.
  • I love seeing the 400+ games guys! I'll put one up soon.

    Hurrah for Mog's comeback!



    Nice to see you around buddy, and as usual, with a killer score to show.



    I like how you simply masked the MrMini on your username paper, haha!
  • Ugh.... uber rusty. taped my second game.... kind of an adventure





  • According to the game I am a Tetris Master, but compared to you guys I am just an amateur.

    But hey, a post is a post, a score is a score...and a participation point is a point...Right?

    Same here. I only played Tetris a few times back in the 80s because I couldn't stay interested.





    Good video, Robin! Looking forward to seeing more great scores and videos from everyone








  • 496,660



    Will get a higher score before the weekend is over.
  • well Im back to being horrible at 19 speed... came close to 600 twice

  • Can't wait to see how this one ends up, that's a nice start Robin!
  • Yeah, this will be a very entertaining contest to watch throughout the week. I'll probably be part of the audience for this week though, too much Tetris talents in here already



    JD: Cool avatar, very representative of the first round of 2012 Stanley Cup Series.
  • 655,982



    nothing too exciting, I just lined after 19, since Im so rusty.



    got to the kill screen though for anyone who hasn't seen it






  • Wow, didnt even know there was a kill screen on Tetris!! Watching you guys play makes me dizzy...
