Super score. Would this be one of your favorite games?

 

It actually is Paul. I was a technician working at Grand Prix Race-o-Rama in Dania, FL back in the early 90's (which was actually the largest arcade in the world at that time) and remember having to install "kits" in empty cabinets because this was the way Atari released Tetris. It wasn't as a dedicated game, only as a kit. I had to install I believe like 10 of them all along a back wall and every minute I got, I played it. I managed to achieve a WR score of 1.6M, which stood for many years before I lost it to another good player who managed a score of just over 2M.

Awesome story and WR score! I think I found the machines where you installed those Tetris kits. Don't they look great all lined up like that. 8 gamers can play at the same time.

Interesting, the last 3 scores posted by 3 different gamers are all very close ... 85,111, then 84,075, and then 80,713.

 

Tetris does that to you. When it gets real tough, it's always close to game over, unless you find a nice way to finish a row.

Just checked the tournament scoreboard, and the same 3 gamers are in 11th @bensweeneyonbass, 12th @Prow and 15th place @John73. They share a close game of Tetris, and a close tournament of MGL41.
