The show piece at the bottom is kinda cheating, right? One of Tetris challenge is to visualize where the piece will land. Nice project never the less.

Depends on what rule book you're using :) Ghost pieces default to `on` in Guideline Tetris.

  They also mandate EasySpin/Infinity, which breaks the game, so I basically don’t trust anything the say. >:)

    It can break Marathon, but infinity spins are not a great strategy for Ultra, Sprint, or 1:1 multiplayer.

      I agree, but I play Marathon, and it sucks. :( Tetris Effect would have been so much better if EasySpin could be turned off.

It's a challenge, but it's an uninteresting one.

I think that today we're just admiring the custom paint job on an old commuter car, and not the design of the car itself.

  No doubt about that. As I said, it is a nice project. My comment about "cheating" was directed to the player not to the designer of the project. I had the physical game [1] as a child and I don't remember it having the ghost piece. 1 - https://www.google.com/search?q=tetris+original+console&bih=689&biw=393&hl=pt-BR&tbm=shop&oq=tetris+console+or&gs_lcp=Cg5tb2JpbGUtc2gtc2VycBABGAAyCAgAEBYQHhAYOgIIADoGCAAQBxAeOgQIABAeOgYIABAIEB46BAgAEBM6CAgAEBYQHhATOgYIABAWEB5Q8klYgE5gx1doAHAAeACAAaQCiAHhB5IBAzItNJgBAKABAaoBEm1vYmlsZS1zaC13aXotc2VycMABAQ&sclient=mobile-sh-serp https://www.google.com/search?q=tetris+original+console&bih=...

I have an official Tetris game. \You can toggle on the show/don't show, though i have only managed to do so by accident.

negative. modern tetris has moved way beyond NES' system. there have been many improvements to the game, like a holding piece, hard drop, the ghost piece you mentioned, advanced maneuvers like t-spins, and most interesting of all (to me) is the improved piece selection [1]. you're probably aware of the tall block meme -- when you need it, it never shows up! well that's been more or less solved. there's also interesting strategies/techniques like 4-wide [2]. there's a whole rabbit hole to follow... if you want to try out modern tetris, check out jstris [3]. the skill level people have attained is unbelievable [4], and can't be replicated on NES tetris.
