It's the Tetris version I still like the best. I still play it from time to time. In a dedicated Windows XP virtual machine, since 64-bit Windows doesn't play nice with 16-bit programs.
Indeed, I consider it a disappointment when I don't succeed to turn the score negative. When I'm in the right state of mind, and have enough time, and a bit of luck maybe, I can go from positive to negative to positive back to negative multiple times; I've never kept count, but I know of some instances where I've played a single game for over 45 minutes at least.
- efreak 3y agoYou can run windows 3.1 in dosbox if all you want is Tetris. There's display drivers for large screens (or 24bit color, but not both) available for dosbox as well. A full virtual machine seems a bit overkill when my entire small doswin games directory is <200mb (this includes all WEPs and a few dozen other small games for win 3.x and dos). For better compatibility with the (extremely rare) program that doesn't work under dosbox's dos emulation, you can go further and run an actual copy of DOS on a disk image.
- roelschroeven 3y agoIt's overkill, but it works :) I might give the dosbox + windows 3.1 option a try though, thanks for the suggestion.
