  • This is a collection of clips from my highest score in the marathon setting of The New Tetris for N64. There are spin moves, interesting arrangements, and incredibly fast-falling pieces. Enjoy!

    this video has taught me so, so much. TNT64 is my favorite tetris game, and i thought i was good at it back in the day! after finding this video i realized i had a long way to go, and much yet to learn. i studied this video closely and tried to replicate the playstyle (center well with 2 cube towers), and it has propelled me to achieve my all time personal best score: 3,756 lines
    i consider F JONES my tetris sensei 🙇‍♂️

    This is really the best edition of Tetris I've ever seen or played, hands down. I remember playing a single marathon session for more than an hour sometimes. To keep up that long, that's a challenge at itself. You won't see that these days. How I miss that game (argh!), because it was stolen from me during a burglery, along with the console and other games.

      My n64 got ruined so I can´t play this game anymore. I decided to download an emulator for my laptop and I'm playing this wonderful game. I know it is not the same feeling but at least I'm remembering a lot of fun

      One of my favorite tetris games as well. I found out that the Tetris Worlds has multiple worlds- each with a different mechanic- the square mechanic being one of them. So, it's basically this game with other cool tetris games also.

  • @Frank_Jones314
    @Frank_Jones314  14 лет назад +1

    I understand now. That is a result of the "spin move." If you complete a row using a spin move, it makes unusual things happen: The row above and below clear, and pieces then fall from above to fill in the gaps, resulting in a lot of clearing all at once.
    A consequence of this occurrence is that you lose any blocks you made, which is why I said "There goes 60 points."

    • @kevinpilon11

      it's gold if you use 4 of the same piece to make the block, silver if you use different pieces to make a block.

    @bryandoyle765 8 лет назад +1

    I know exactly how you feel especially near the end and when sometimes you get lucky and have some blocks that fall just right on their own giving you a bit of time to think. I was looking up the high scores that have been posted and I couldn't believe the scores i was seeing. I didn't know that the silver and gold blocks were so valuable. I looked at my overall scores and it shows 7000ish normal lines and 6000ish bonus lines. I looked those up and now i see why my scores have been so high. Normally i get 400-500 lines in 20-30 minutes and until last night my high score had been 663(i know so close) when I got 760 in 38 minutes. looked up the leveling system and it gets faster the longer you play, the faster you clear lines and the more silver/gold blocks you clear. My game was mainly collecting z and s blocks on one side and hooking L's together beside the I's and squares and getting tetris after tetris.

    I used a DVD recorder. They are inexpensive and easy to use. The video game system p[lugs into the DVD recorder which plugs into the TV. Then just press record, and it creates a DVD of whatever video game you are playing. The DVD recorder needs to have tri-color (red/white/yellow) input, which most or all do. I then connect it to the TV using another tri-color cable.

      @Frank_Jones314  8 месяцев назад

      It's been a while since I've played - but if I recall, it's a simultaneous press of "up" (which drops the piece downward at maximum speed) and whichever button rotates the piece clockwise, this "squeezing" it into the space. That will not work on the right side of the game screen, but the similar move can be done on the right side with the green "Z" piece (which almost certainly occurs in this video as well).

      Tetris. You place blocks and try to make complete lines from left to right to clear them, the more lines you clear at once being worth more than just one at a time.
      The game gets faster the more lines you clear, and ends once a piece goes over the top of the screen.

    not tryin to burst someones bubble but the amount of time it took for it to get fast doesn't add up, even with efficiency of how the pieces were used. the game gets faster the more pieces you put. it should have taken a half hour to get to where you got in about an entire hour, speed of pieces falling that is.

    • @Frank_Jones314
      @Frank_Jones314  6 месяцев назад

      I'm very rusty, but I could probably get back into top form with some practice. It's been so long, I forget what my typical elapsed time would be for 5000 lines. 28:39 sounds like a very good score - I see at the 10:22 mark of my video, the elapsed time for 6590 lines was just over 94 minutes! Granted, I may have been just surviving for the final hour and not making any cubes, but still...
      Okay, looking at the title of one of my other videos, I see "1000 lines in 9+ minutes", which means you've got me smoked with 5000 lines in 28:39. AT the time of this video, I am not sure I had learned a lot of the crucial tricks; I cannot quite recall because it has been so long.
      EDIT - Oh, I just realized that back then, I was not even making cubes on both sides! Wow.
      And then, relatively early on, I focused most of my attention on sprint, trying to come somewhere close to Amagilly's 868 score. I never did. I think my best was 700-something.

    This game's awesome, and my record is over 16,000 lines, but everytime I get close to finishing all 7 wonders, I get this white screen w/ a code (2fast4u) and I lose my game data. It happened to me just yesterday. Anybody else had that problem?
