I can still play older Tetris games without the modern features and enjoy them for what they are. In fact, I kinda like that there wasn't an established "standard" of how Tetris games should play back then, and the different games feel quite different to play as a result. But the randomizer in the Game Boy game sucks a lot of enjoyment out of it for me. Combined with the shorter playfield (18 rows instead of the standard 20) and the blocks instantly locking upon touching the bottom, it often feels like a single mistake is impossible to recover from at higher levels.
Recently I found this romhack for it that essentially adds all those modern features to it, and it does play a lot better. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813/ https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813/
