This is so fake I couldn't even begin to fake it

Can someone explain why on my NES in level 19 i barely can move pieces to the left or right? When I'm in 18 its all peaches and cream, but when I go to 19 the blocks simply hardly can be manipulated and fall DF-DF-DF-DF-DF-DF-DF at 300BPM. Even starting at 19 gives me time to make one or two rows and thats it...

Is tehre difference in PAL and NTSC?

Congrats Jonas on world championship. I didn't even know about it until just now. Perhaps I will compete in the next one if for no other reason than just to see where I rank.

i have been practicing for a while on 19 and have gotten to about 270 in about 80 lines before death and am committed to joining the 999,999 club. much respect

Very well done!  Yeah the blocks fall way too fast at that level. Its as if the developers are saying, "OK you're done now."

I finaly got to level 29! Hilarious how fast the blocks fall.

I finally broke 200k starting at lvl 19.  Next goal is getting to level 29 from 19.

if you are wondering how to do it. there are two ways.

1) stack for tetris in the center, and pray for a few Is ina row (unlikely)

2) stack for combos in the middle, with a 2 or 3 wide hole on level 28, so you can place multiple tetrominos in the middle, and hopefully clear 10 lines (more likely)

[zaphod77]

okay, now for the true ultimate challenge. beating level 29. :)

I took level 19 height 4 down to 1 line to go and busted. Didn't have the patience to pursue it, but it is definitely possible.
