Arcade Tetris is Whack
How many taps it takes to get your piece over to where you want it is also more difficult to judge in the arcade than in the console versions of Tetris. On the arcade, the pieces are made out of the same four blocks, but visually, the design of the pieces doesn't give this away. On the console versions, you can clearly see the blocks that make up the tetrominos.
After my brutal defeat, I returned to the game, determined to overcome these shortcomings and triumph over this blasted antique. What constantly held me back though, after I'd learned to simply beat the shit out of the joystick to get the pieces to move, was the fact that I wasn't able to twiddle the piece around after it had fallen. Once the shape hits bottom, you can bump it over one square, but thats it, no fancy spinning stuff. I looked around the nets, and found this is called easy spinning, there's a dispute about it. And there's also something called non-overstacking construction, Garbage is a technical term, and the Tetris Holding Company has official guidelines.
And this guy... damn. Gotta go practise.
I'VE BEEN EATEN ALIVE.
