do u have any friends

[fieryelf]

Nice Stick, is that chromed???

[AMDARRICAENLO]

bad definition, i can´t see important details, but you are the best player with one hand

[smenkinsa]

try plating Super Pang and own it with one hand!!! its addictible

[freaky011]

why would you need more than one hand for playing tetris? i'm sorry if this is a dumb question.

[colourthief]

Well, you're right that there's tons of crappy tetris games that put all the controls together with Up to rotate, intending it to be played with one hand. It's playable, but it's also slow. Most good, fast, tetris games use one hand for movement and the other for rotation/hold.

In this video I'm playing with arcade controls very much designed for 2 hands, and doing it quickly.

[freaky011]

oh, thanks a lot. you're speed is incredible btw.

[colourthief]

Yeah, in this video I'm playing the actual arcade game hooked up to a TV using a supergun. If you're thinking of getting into this game though just google tetrisconcept.

[thizzboy99]

where did you find the roms? unless youre using the pcb connected to tv.

really imnpressive video good work man , ive been playing a bit myself trying to learn the game better videos like this help with inspiration .

[colourthief]

Glad you liked it. If you need more inspiration be sure to check out the tetrisconcept website.

[SivakD]

Playing on MAME, I've only been able to get to level 5... The game is kinda fun though.

[chalo001]

fake

[colourthief]

You're joking right? I did this in front of other people. You can even hear me talking with them at the end of part 2. Also, take it from me: even though this video gets all the views for some reason, it was actually pretty easy to do compared to some of my other videos.

[darmandez]

But in One- handed tetris you can´t turn the blocks, can you??

[Eric4372]

If you were ambidextrous, play two Tetris games at the same time. Shouldn't be too hard for the l33t players. Lol, I'm just kidding.

[sn4kp4k]

im only 16, but when i move outta my house im gonna invest in a tgm machine. ive always liked tetris but i DO find that tetris ds's infinite crap is annoying and i saw that video with the invisible tetris, i really wanted a tgm machine. plus being somewhat of a gamer, ive always wanted an arcade machine in my house, thats just pure pwnage;)

[gs68]

The board itself is about $100-200. My friend who's 18, goes to college with me, and hasn't had a job yet snapped it up last winter, now he's just waiting to find a supergun so he can play it without a cabinet.

So a TGM1 board is relatively feasible--I mean hey, I have $150 saved up for a Pop'n controller, and I don't have a job either! (Protip: cut your daily spendings)

o.o 24 wow wii gie i thought u would be younger your hands are small

[portalnuk123]

wow nice how old are u

[chriseurosong]

Woo! That was quite a performance. I must say, this player liked living dangerously: deliberately creating gaps and piling up towers when there was otherwise no need. But it's cool, because it's all the more impresssive when he gets free. He was quite lucky with the blocks though, in some places: a long piece comes along just when he needs it. All in all though - good job, well done!
