Classic Tetris... High Quality Product... Addictive!
This game is very well made, and easy to use. The back-light makes it easy to see in dim light. This one is a treasure.

At least it's better than Radica's hand-held Tetris!
Let me state for the record that I am a Tetris Addict. I'm not a gamer, I don't do Wii or Playstation or MMORPGs or any of that. But I love Tetris. It's a simple, conceptual puzzle that keeps my mind agile and is never the same twice. When my first GameBoy was stolen from me, I had to get a GameBoy Advance. I played it into the ground, and when it finally gave up the ghost, I started looking for replacements here on Amazon.

The first one I got was the Color Screen Tetris, which was a very satisfactory game UNTIL one of the little blocks on the bottom of the screen burned out ... and then another ...

Next it was the Radica Handheld Game Tetris. What a piece of junk. I tossed it in a matter of days, and you can read my review to see why, if you like.

Now I am using the Radica Big Screen Tetris. It's far better than Radica's handheld game, but it has three main drawbacks:

1: There is no adjustable level of skill.
2: The screen light that automatically comes on when your room is dark becomes less adequate for seeing those Tetris blocks as they start dropping faster and faster.
3: The game is pretty unforgiving, and that's really the only way I can put it. If you have played Tetris on a variety of devices, you'll know what I mean.

BOTTOM LINE: Only one game, only one skill level, and pretty near impossible to get past 100 lines and/or 150,000 points.

SO: Of the three Tetris games I have purchased from Amazon, I still have to give my highest marks to Color Screen Tetris. Although it sucks batteries pretty quickly, it has a GREAT screen, adjustable skill levels on the various games, and good controls. If only those little blocks didn't start burning out!
