|L|L| out from the side, it makes this piece hard to place in |L|
gaps when there is no place on the side that will allow |L|

|O|O| The 'O' Piece. - This one everybody loves. Don't know why |L|
|O|O| `cause it's plain and dull. Well you won't be compliaing |L|
until you can't put it in a safe place beacause they are |L|
all jaggered. |L|
_ |L|
|I| The 'I' Piece. - Well this piece is the only piece that |L|
|I| isn't around when you need it to be. The only piece that |L|
|I| can make a 'Tetris' in one move. Well the only in any |L|
|I| move. Gernerally try to use this piece down the side |L|
walls, or anywhere else if you can get a Tetris. |L|
_ |L|
|T|_ The 'T' Piece. - The most versitile piece in the whole |L|
|T|T| game. Where can't it go? Well in places that you don't |L|
|T| want it to go. This piece is great for switching 'Z' or |L|
'S' 'Towers' around. |L|

|L| THE STRATEGY
|L|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|L|
|L|
Well now here comes the strategy to a game that is so random |L|
that you can't guess what block will come out after the one that |L|
is in the preview. Trust me, no matter how random a game can be, |L|
a strategy guide can be made. So here it comes. |L|
|L|
When you start the game your best to start by organising the |L|
game pieces into 'Towers' (See TETRIMINOLOGY). This way you can |L|
gradually make your TETRIS up. If your first block is an 'I' |L|
block you should put them verticaly up the wall so that they |L|
don't fill up un-necessary space. By doing this you eliminate all |L|
the layers down the bottom so that you can get easy lines and |L|
also go for the TETRIS. From there the different combo's are |L|
limitless. So here I go with how I do it. The 'Z' and 'S' blocks |L|
I tower up the sides or next to each other. These blocks are the |L|
hardest to fit places so putting them on top of each other will |L|
reduce the holes in your layers. When you get your first 'T' |L|
piece your should put it's flat side on the bottom layer of the |L|
screen. From here start layering what you can but try not to make |L|
a 'Fish Net' (See TETRIMINOLOGY). |L|
|L|
An easy way to get a tetris is to layer all your pieces but |L|
leave a row on the side of the screen spare so that when you get |L|
a 'I' piece you can slot it down there and collect the tetris. |L|
The only bad thing about this is that the 'I' pieces either don't |L|
come at all or they come at the wrong time. |L|
|L|
Another way to play is to just eliminate each line as you go. |L|
This way you will probably not get a tetris but you will steadily |L|
increase your line count. This way is probably the safest way |L|
that you could play but it's about the most boring way that you |L|
could play. Live on the edge, take risks and find that you will |L|
get more points from taking risks in Tetris. |L|
|L|
Always look up at the Preview box for what is coming out next. |L|
This will help you in the placement of the pieces. Also you will |L|
have to train your mind to think how each piece looks when it is |L|
rotated and see where it can fit. You will net this further when |L|
you increase the level count, oh boy it can come down fast at |L|
level 15+. |L|
|L|
TIPS FROM TRAVELLING LONG DISTANCES IN A CAR WHILE PLAYING TETRIS |L|
ON A GAMEBOY (RANT ONE OF MANY MORE TO COME) |L|
|L|
Ok where do I start. Oh yeah, when you decide to play Tetris |L|
while traveling anywhere make note of these special points. |L|
|L|
ú Have you got enough batteries for the entire trip ? |L|
ú Will you be by any chance going under overpasses, through |L|
tunnels etc (Trust me this is a major one.) ? |L|
ú Do you have a set of head-phones ? |L|
|L|
Now why I'm pointing these things out is because they have all |L|
been major things that have happened to me. Below I will explain |L|
in more detail why these things are important. |L|
|L|
1: Batteries. Well we all know the feeling when your right at |L|
the good part of a game and the batteries kick it in, and |L|
leave you sitting there gagging on, well anger (could |L|
have said many other things). Well don't be stuck with |L|
this problem. Bring more batteries than you will ever |L|
need. Just in case... |L|
|L|
2: Overpasses. Don't know what these are, well I'll explain. An |L|
overpass is like a bridge that when driving on a freeway |L|
your car will pass under. Now note. In a game like Tetris |L|
one millisecond is all that seperates you from a perfect |L|
Tetris and misery while you bash your head on the door |L|
handle. How does this happen, well sometimes when you go |L|
under an overpass there will be a shadow of the overpass. |L|
This may last for a brief moment or a few seconds. But |L|
that is enough time to blank out your vision of the |L|
Gameboy screen and lose a brilliant line. The best way to |L|
get around this is to make the Driver of the car or |L|
someone else that is watching the road to warn you a few |L|
seconds before that the overpass is coming. This will |L|
allow you enough time to pause and wait. |L|
|L|
3: Headphones. Headphones I hear you say, well what's more |L|
annoying, you losing a Tetris by an underpass, or your |L|
other siblings annoying the crap out of you and making |L|
you lose a Tetris. The answer is your other siblings. |L|
Why ? Well by the time the overpass goes by and ruins |L|
your game, you can't turn around an thump it, but with |L|
siblings you can. The only bad thing is that you sort of |L|
get in trouble when you hit your siblings. So the answer |L|
is headphones. You won't hear them at all, well with it |L|
turned up real loud, but this will chew batteries, and |L|
this is where the extra batteries come in handy. |L|

Helpful Hint |L|
You know that those blocks and l shapes can be pretty annoying. |L|
Well right from the start make a column on the left hand side |L|
for blocks only, then another column for l shaped only. When |L|
you need them use them in the center but otherwise do as I said.|L|

No Preview |L|
To play a harder game where the next piece is not shown, hit |L|
START during any point of the game. While the game is paused, |L|
hit SELECT. When the game is restored, the box where the next |L|
piece is shown will be empty. To show the pieces again, repeat |L|
this process. |L|

Secret Ending |L|
In Tetris mode B there is a special level ending. To earn it |L|
score 25 lines on level 9, with the initial height set to 5. |L|
If you're successful you will be rewarded with new music with |L|
Russian dancers and musicians prancing in front of the title |L|

Secret Rockets |L|
Secret rockets are found in both type games. The type A game |L|
will show a small rocket when you hit 100,000 points and a |L|
large rocket when you hit 200,000 points. The type B game shows |L|
a space shuttle taking off when you beat the game at level 9 |L|
and height 5. |L|

Move the Blocks Up |L|
In Tetris DX, there's a bug. When any piece but a straight bar |L|
or a block is falling, hold LEFT (even after it's against the |L|
wall keep holding left) and keep pressing A really fast and the |L|
piece will actually start moving back up! You can do the same |L|
thing on the right side wall, but you have to hold RIGHT and |L|
keep pressing B instead. It's strange but it works. |L|
