I was just playing "The New Tetris" (Isn't very new now) for the Nintendo 64, and had just achieved my new high score of 1482 lines (Which took literally over 100 minutes to achieve with minor pausing here there) I did not use and save states or emulator pauses at all, considering I was playing on the actual console; with real cartridge in hand. Mind you, while this is a very very high number of lines (obviously) "The New Tetris" is much different from the usual tetris game, as it is pretty much made so you can get lines easier then most games, considering the blocks only fall faster with the more blocks you place. (At least that's what I believe... it certainly isn't faster for a set number of lines you achieve) still, it's in my opinion a very good number.


As far as a "normal" version of Tetris goes, in "Dr.Mario and Tetris" game for the SNES, I went up to 278 lines long ago before finally succumbing to death and... oh my god the blocks fell nearly instantly. The only reason I pretty much lost was because I could barely reach the side even though the blocks were at the bottom. Only way to reach the side is to mash either the A or B buttons to flip the blocks so they take longer to "stick".



So I'm curious, what is the most lines in Tetris anybody else has gotten before? And in what version of Tetris was it that you got said number of lines in?

Mine was up to 2,000 on one of the tetris games. I remember it takeing forever and I got really bored so I just let all of them fall and then took a picture and left.

I got somewhere in the 500s for Tetris DS, and that was after playing it for a couple of hours. I don't see how you could possibly go on to 2,000. O_o

That's kind of the same reason why I didn't get any higher in The New Tetris. After 3 hours I got kind of bored. I guess I could have save stated but it would have taken me off of my "groove" and chances are I would get Game Over'd shortly after.
