I had this desire to play Tetris. I have a retro emulation handheld with basically everything from the 8 and 16 bit era on it.

I tried every variation of Tetris I could find on every platform, and somehow the best one is still the original gameboy? Every other port/sequel seems to feel the need to alter -something-, which in the process makes it worse.

Control changes, graphical weirdness, strange modes, odd music choices.

Like, I just figured maybe there was a colour version of the gameboy version, but seemingly they just HAD to mess with a winner.

Anyway, here I am, in 2025, still playing the original gameboy release of Tetris as it's still a great handheld game.

So, tell me I'm wrong! What's your favourite (came out for a console) version of Tetris? Something useable on a modern emulation handheld?
