Re: Game Boy Tetris - 999,999 points

[TimeBreaker1987]

I think I'd become blind watching the original Gameboy screen nowadays. When I grabbed out my old GBA last month, I couldn't play longer than 10 minutes... no wonder I needed glasses when I was 10 :x

[THANATOS112220]

I love the song for that game! Man, gameboy is fun to play!

[PunkGrl199]

Whats this gameboy called?? I WANT IT!

[DjAotaka]

@PunkGrl199 that's the first gameboy ... lol

[teeman9266]

Ohhhh I miss those green screen Gameboys

[TheTrustyRapist]

how can you see those little dots clearly to get 999999 points

[niggy730]

Wow I've never even realised you can play with your fingers >.< I've always played with my thumbs

[buddahbully]

asian fingers

[kelvinoalbino]

You must be great at math :3

[DarkPikachu8890]

In Soviet Russia............BUTTONS PRESS U!!

[TheCYBERchanell]

OMG is he a real human???

[loonytin]

i used to have game boy

[qhwu2]

contrast is too low

[Smash5x5]

You can even see the score :I

[taleofrevenge]

fuck...i actually miss my old game boy original after watching this

[NickErerro]

my biggest record was only 70'000 =(

[Erekai]

Flawless, bro. Nice work.

[Bobflannery103]

for me ...301556 but one screw up im screwed

[sparkster7744]

He was playing Tetris all his life :P

[zintangibles]

for those who think this mehod is just as easy as thumbs, try it yourself and see if you even reach lvl 20.

[KangarooPhucker]

some loser plays gameboy to much

[errorthisnameisused]

@KangarooPhucker who might that be?

[cryymorepl3ase]

i love level 9 high 5, the rocket makes everything worth it :D

[TraniXz]

"And then his batteries wore out! D:" would fit perfectly.

[ThaCrip79]

350,317 (5-30-10) (Level 20 , 202 Lines) (i took a picture with my digital camera for proof)

which i just set a few moments ago. it's my personal all time best.

p.s. i also noticed at level 20 it's free fall speed as when i pressed down on d-pad nothing happens. :( lol (i have no idea how that 999,999 guy can keep up at that speed is once it gets not to far up your hand speed MUST increase (which mine don't seem to) or your pretty much done for)

[RobeonMew]

play like a human and use your thumbs

[TheQuedude]

holy crud awsome!

[ThaCrip79]

as i said to your other post where you got the 999,999 score.

WOW!

but actually seeing your hands physically DO IT. no wonder why i can't get higher than the lower half of the 300,000's (which i think i did roughly around 1996 or so (when i was about 16-17 years old) as i got it written down on paper somewhere)

because it 'seems' around what i did is pushing the limits of normal gameboy in your hand using thumbs. as the limiting factor starts to become hand speed after a certain point.

[hootergirlsrhot]

the people that are putting those mean-ass comments are jealous because they can't even get 10,000 points on lvl1 on tetris

[thebiolizard]

I think ill go practise on my GB now XD

[MyCHiPsI]

eres un mentirosoo

eso es impocible

yo te reto soy mejor ke tu

juge 3 hora mas aparte de los

999,999 puntos

[destroyallnerds]

and i thought runescape was a waste of time......

[FireSwordProductions]

@destroyallnerds fuck you man tetris is FTW

[destroyallnerds]

@FireSwordProductions

fuck you man life is FTW.

[FireSwordProductions]

@destroyallnerds dude its JUST tetris, not world of warcraft or something like that

[YouSeamusMeChaseer3]

You people are mean. Why do you think that just because someone is good at a game, they have no life of their own? You have no clue what kind of life this person has, so you really don't need to go on about "He needs to get a life" and whatever else you may throw at him.

[Bramsan]

Never played tetris like this. Always with the thumbs. But it's true that you can push the buttons faster this way.

[SpiderSplicer19]

First of all: you're a very good player

Second of all: Why'd you do it (boredom?)

Third of all: You need a girlfriend

(no offense)

[SuperDave341]

@SpiderSplicer19 rolf youre a god dam loser for saying such shit like this

[SpiderSplicer19]

@SuperDave341 I disagree with your opinions of me but I realize people should have a right to say ther opinions. And by the way how come I can't say something about him and you can say stuff about me? Way to go.

[thebiolizard]

I agree with superdave, face it, if u dont want shit being said to you then keep your nasty thoughts to yourself and dont act like the good guy cos we all know you are a goddamn loser for talkin bollocks.

[The4Dboy]

Great grey matter!

[Motoman232323]

omg get laiiiiiiddddddddddd xDD

[chevezez]

@Motoman232323 it's just tetris lol

[Artemetra]

Spectre255, what is your high score on Level9 0High (Heart), (if you play that)? I just got 53,000 (4 tetris) With thumbs even! But YOUR technique is promethean.

[Spectre255]

84000 + drop points (7 tetrises)....I didn't record it, but I know I've done it a few times. I have a video of me doing essentially the same thing on the NES version, it's the one I refer to as a 'perfect game'.

[Artemetra]

Then whenI look in the future webclopedia under Tetris, it'll say Spectre255.

[colmcq]

@Spectre255

I've got 200k on 9 heart

never thought to use my hands on the controllers the way you do; thumbs are too slow once you get to 20

[Famguy279]

freaking sweet dude! you've got some skill!

[MrMASTRCHIEF]

wow look at them fingers move lol

[NitroFaramir]

awesome fingerwork :)

[Spectre255]

That's what she said!

I wish!

[NitroFaramir]

haha :D :D

[aab010799]

I have a gameboy color and im a colletor. should I get this gameboy and im also getting a nes and could you recomend some games 2 me???

[Mycatisbigfoot]

the org tetris, its a nentendo cart emm tape (AVGN ref)

[aab010799]

mhmmm

[Spectre255]

:'(

[patsprankcalls]

do people usually use their fingers to play tetris?

[Bowiieeee32]

Its cool seeing some actually play it on a gameboy, hitting those tiny buttons takes skill, you looked like you were doing really well, i am curious how many lines you got on the gameboy? i have only gotten to 230. You must have done way more.

[Spectre255]

641 is my record; you can see it in my other video.

[kinkadonka]

wow the last time i sa that machine was in 1999

[dragongod911]

Lmao I got 1 billion lines 10 minutes ago!

[benfreckle916]

damn. hella good. my record for the gameboy version is 185 lines. trying to reach 200. i guess once i keep getting to it, than i can just become proficient and then reach 1000 lines!

[acid667]

oh that gameboy was soo fucking awesome :D but mine is broken for years -.-

[capitanmcfly]

que recuer2 madre mia.....jajajaja

[Monodi91]

I've made 125 lines! On your face high-achievers!

[Bojack222]

lol, my b-day :P

[ThePhilamyster]

I love how in the old ones how as soon as it hits it gets stuck. Not like the new ones where you can move it around as much as you want. Speed doesn't seem to matter in the old one anymore

[asdfgoogle]

How many colors does the GBA have? 2! lol. Black and green :P

[Holbeinisscheisse]

the background is green. its has only 1 color. black.

[GameZombie10]

no black blackish green and green

[NamesROverated]

lol, fail the gba has full color. i think you mean gameboy

[asdfgoogle]

Damnit you got me!!!

[cjblondie85]

hey guys my mum was gonna throw out my gameboy original and after two weeks i got back into the swing of things and as a 16 year old my bets was 234 lines then i got 263 lines 2 weeks ago

[DaantjeNAC]

No live

[megah961107]

What???

[shraggreg]

ha , ive made it to 221 lines , beat that

[Spectre255]

I've gotten to 641 >_>

[ruudolol]

lol the blocks just drop :D crazy

[nileppezdude]

levels 11-15 are NOT the same speed as level 20. its so obvious this spectre douchebag just used an emulator on the computer and slowed down the gameplay to make it possible for him to keep going.

[Billmaan]

Do you even know what the "heart" levels are? 11(heart) damn well is the same speed as level 20.

[andrewg1990]

you can play at level 20 and the speed doesn't increase... thus you can play forever if you're fast enough.

[nileppezdude]

exactly my point. this guy is bullshitting anyway. using a Super Gameboy wont give that kind of output

[daijimin]

Care to prove that?

[CALMCO]

if he were using an emulator. how could he still be playing on GBC. and the (Heart) levels are the same speed as level 20. so get your facts straight

[elrais2]

highest ive gotten to is level 12, it gets so hard

[kirbygirlgogo]

i have the same game and system!!!

[greyfox5000]

fag

[Spectre255]

no u

[Joschepu]

Both :D

[iiismooo]

win

[Domyras]

touché! :D

[jlo138]

I just posted on your original vid. It IS possible to play level 20! I did it for like a few seconds before it shut me down only to never get there again. The left to right movement lagged and was too slow to maintain level 20. This comment is for the non-believers.

[illious999]

Not on the original game boy!

[illious999]

I don't get what this is about, I have made past level 30 in the good old days. Played a month ago on my old game boy and still made it past level 20 easily.

I not sure what my high score is anymore but I'm pretty sure that it is more than 500000.

Never made 999999 though and I highly doubt that it is possible

[necpmf]

It maxes out at level 20.

[Gin132456]

i love the feel of holding an old gameboy

u can acutally grip it unlike lets say the ds

theyre getting so small, we wont be able to grip them unless we have small hands D:

[zacdee316]

i just commented on your full length version of this vid, but i can see how you can do it. You use it lying down like a keyboard allowing for faster response time. Normally anyone else would try to hold it themselves and play.

[asianboykickurass]

gameboy is like $5 at swapmeet lolol

[thefaselerkid]

You got skills, no joke. And I love the Old School Gameboy.

[SabrinaTheWischi]

i love old games... i consider them as something special.. i love playing zelda on snes and super mario on gameboy...

[dachewe]

kinda look ugly when you look at old games and you think man thats how game used to look

[Spectre255]

You talk like a retard. Damned French Canadians.

[jimmybrite]

Don't you mean "You type like a retard"

I wonder how smart you actually are.

[Spectre255]

His typing looked fine; I'm quite sure he intended to type "ur" instead of "your", use no capitalization, and use no punctuation. I suppose I should have said "communicate" instead of "talk", but I think that hardly makes a difference.

Oh, and if you're going to try to correct someone on semantics, you might take the extra second to get your grammar right.

[stagmar1]

wow may i ask how old u are o.O

dayum u tetris god

[jimmybrite]

you're pathetic. I just can't stand racism, is that so wrong?

As a matter of fact fuck you, you're just jealous because I'm well versed in both French and English and you just can't stand that you're a moron.

[MajorasWrath97]

But how why did you state "Damned French Canadians"? That's prejudice.

[MajorasWrath97]

Sorry, I shouldn't have put the how in there.

[123zozo123]

Don't talk to him, he is a fucking racist :/

[Spectre255]

Well, maybe I wouldn't be prejudiced if they weren't French or Canadian!

[MajorasWrath97]

But what the hell, they're fucking Canadian, what's so bad about that? And French people are awesome. I see nothing bad about either of them.

[Spectre255]

What are you, one of them???

[MajorasWrath97]

No, I am what you call a "hispanic". I was born in the U.S., and I have a feeling you're gonna be prejudice against me too.

[Spectre255]

Si Señor.

[123zozo123]

Hey -_-

I'm french, but i don't talk like a retard :/

[heathen18]

nice nostalgic vid dude... my highest gaming achievement was with that version of tetris: starting at lvl 9 I managed to 87 lines

[connortimoti]

Even tho this video has nothing to do with it..

[connortimoti]

whats wrong with rugby?

[Cylar29527]

how much does a classic gameboy like that is going for????

[spaceghidorahzilla44]

about 10-17 bucks i gess

[TimShine77]

freak xD

[cmsalejandro]

i thought the a and b butons were red?

[Eckendenker]

they are? its just dark, btw they arent totally red but kinda purple

[betaomega04]

They're red on the original NES controller

[fatalkeyv]

this is sick!!!

[Spectre255]

Pffft, rugby's a game son. There's no such thing as a sport as the word's used today. All games. Tetris requires intelligence, fast reflexes, and skill. Things I see that are not prerequisites for rugby.

I do not revolve my life around playing Tetris. Had you made those comments about World of Warcraft, Halo, Super Smash Brothers Melee, etc. I would probably have agreed. I am not likely to have a life-threatening injury or be paralyzed, etc. by playing Tetris.

I'm not your friend buddy.

[Spectre255]

I'm living quite happily in the real world, and I don't really understand your attempts to attack me for enjoying Tetris. If that's how you get your jollies and satisfy your insecurities, well....glad I could help. :)

On a side note, I love using the tops of Pringles cans as frisbees.

[rugbysens]

congrats on the frisbee toss my man. you were the one attacking me enjoying rugby. you dirty mutt.

[Spectre255]

T'was a reply to a comment on my video here; a comment you wrote, on a video you don't seem to appreciate. Yet you keep coming back to call me names... I like it, provides me with some entertainment :D

[rugbysens]

i dont understand french

[kidsloveplaques]

I've played rugby for years and I still find this video impressive as shit!!

Dope stuff, Spectre255! Skill is skill in games and sports, doesn't matter if its football, hockey or even tetris for that matter

My highscore is in the 90.000's so I know reaching these levels is hard as hell

[Spectre255]

Someone who likes *rugby* thinks I should get a life?

[noobie337]

@Spectre255 lol dont listen to those guys they have prejudices... if you love that game then you should play it as long as you have fun... but hey how old are you? I read that you've been playing from the late 90's, that's about 20 years of that! Just wondering..

[great112211]

try beating tetris ds marathon mode. That lvl 99 gets ya. I beat it by cheating ^.^

[georgejkd]

I dont know why but level 20 seems faster than that heart mode.

[chrisuler31]

suchtelllll !!

[mrmontnegro]

tetris is for bitches (see tetris with lyrics)

[KaiLovesMusic]

freak :D

[KronosEric]

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!

[Josh42222]

lol. nice.

[thebenmaster]

levels 11 to 15 are not the same speed as level 20. level 20 is soul destroying!

[Spectre255]

You have not read properly.

[thebenmaster]

my bad, sry

i didnt read the other comments before

nice technique though, i tried it but i still prefer my thumbs :P

[pkfiya]

this is a classic example of have no life whatsoever... but he is quite good

[stevenH463]

dont call me a noob lol but i dont get tetris? how the hell do u get points

[DeadVideoGamer]

you can get points.. by making lines.

[EndOfTheWorldNews007]

prespect!

[FBHammer]

i just cant believe that people have THE TIME to do this and the NERVES to listen to this music all the time oO

[3Coello3]

long live the game boy!!

[arcanejazz]

you play it weird, lol.

[AlphaProject]

No, it's better that way for this game. If you hammer left and right, it's faster than holding left or right. So laying it flat he has easy access to both move buttons and can press them very quickly.

[MarvelCaptian]

pressive i got only up i think 4 thousand something lol i dont remember but i used to be good at this since the old school

[EinfachChaos]

respect!

*lay in front my master* xD

[Gomataka]

sorry but i dont fucking see the lvl u are lol make so light

[diegolewi]

tetris master i say... you are the best ;D

[BADASSAMOAN187]

Whatever...

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Question. After Level 10 heart, will it keep speeding up? (Because the game doesn't go higher than level 20). I got to level 11 heart once, but it was only for a split second until I lost. The blocks were moving so fast anyway I was disorientated and could not tell a difference.

[Spectre255]

No. Level 10 heart through 20 heart are the same speed as regular level 20.

[manager1111]

does anyone have an idea whether gameboy color games work on the old gameboy, and vice versae?

[Linkk22]

You need the Super Game Boy!

[pranksterprince15]

all gameboy color games are flat at the top, where as original gameboy there is a little 'knick' in the corner where when you tun on the old school gameboy a little piece of plastic slides over it. if you wer eto remove it i dunno if it would work or not...never tried :-/. but all old school gameboy games CAN be played on gameboy color,advance, and sp
