It's amazing how a simple song can be so timeless. I was having a sad day because I am away from my family this Xmas in South Korea (US Military) but this song instantly cheered me up. Very soothing!
This is incredible!! I'm an ancient mom who usually listens to classical music. I pulled the Tetris songs up to familiarize myself with them when my son was talking about the music needed for a new game he was designing at DigiPen Institute. I would still be playing Tetris if my game had sounded like this. Outstanding work!!
Wow darken27...did you watch the video at all? It shows him playing the bass line seperately. Stop doing drugs, or whatever it is that makes you and idiot.
I know. I've got the tabs too, and already learned the song. I posted the comment in the first 15 seconds of the video, because it was awesome, so I didn't really notice the switch.
And I don't do drugs. Drugs are for morons who can't put up with the real world.
This song is epic. I don't think the makers of tetris realized how sick this song is. makes me want to blow on the cartridge and play some and do the 4 free lines trick
The official NES version of Tetris had different songs than the Gameboy version, which was the first to have the "Tetris" theme, as you said in your later comment. Theme A on the NES is the Sugar Plum Fairy song, or something. They never really used these songs again, it's a shame. I really love Theme C.
I guessed how this sounded before I listened to this and realized how much it was embedded in my memory. Wow. I remembered what it sounded like, before I heard a note.. Great guitar repro.
I have been going through alot of sadness lately, I have been dealing with so much shit the past 3 days, but this song...it makes me feel so much better, like things will be okay.
Its so deep, even though its a NES tune, it makes me happy, it must be the nostalgia.
I have had the 8-bit version of this song stuck in my head for 20 years, you played that great and will be happy to have this version stuck up there for the next 20. haha
This is one of favorite videogame songs. The other is I think level 5 of blaster master. This is the NES version of tetris. I only used type A and type C. Good job bro
Ooh oooh oooooh yessss! Thank you for putting this up! Thanks for the tabs too, you rock! This is by far my favorite video game music, it's so calm and soothing!
Here, here! Although my favorite song from Tetris is the GB Type B. That song's tight, especially the Brawl remix of that, with the Arabian feel and whatnot! :)
@CROCODlLE Hey thanks for the clarification. =) I was used to the Theme C from the Gameboy version of Tetris and was wondering why it sounded so different. =D Must say its much better then the Gameboy version.
