| 392.1 | totals aren't lines | WILARD::DIONNE | | Tue Jan 09 1990 11:20 | 13 |
| I was thinking about this last night and I think I have an answer.
Each total for SINGLES, DOUBLES, TRIPLES and TETRIS' is just that,
a total. Remember for example a TRIPLE is three lines not 1 as
in the count for TRIPLES. The totals shouldn't add up to 25, but
the lines for each catagory should.
By the way, has anyone played the two player version? We tried
it and it's funny to watch two people while they're playing. The
crying characters are cute and sometimes match the actual players.

| Duhhhhhhhhh....that makes sense...dain bramage setting in....thanx
About the two player mode...my mother-n-law purchased her Game Boy
last week and the whole family now gets involved in two-player Tetris...
Boy does it get competitive...especially when one clears more than one
line at a time !!

Tetris Tricks
==============
When playing the type 'B' game on level 9, there is a way
to end the game with one line left and mess with the screen.
Wait until you only have one line left to fill. At the very moment
that you drop a block to fill that last line and win the game,
hit 'start' to bring up the pause screen. The ending will appear
over it and look very weird .

If you are a very talented player, you can make very special
things happen in both 'A' and 'B' games.
In the 'A' game if you score 100,000 points,youare treated to a
small rocket launching off into the stars. If you get 200,000
points, you get a large one.
In type 'B' game, if you complete level 9, you get Russian dancers
filling the screen. If you complete level 9 with the High at 5
you get to see the space shuttle take off!

| 392.5 | Clear extra lines | GUIDUK::WISE_ER | HHGTTG= 6 X 9 = 42 ? | Thu May 24 1990 17:03 | 8 |
| If you are playing the type B game and you get down to one line
left to clear try this.
I then set up so that I clear more than one line with my final
block. When you add up the line score you see that you get credit for
the extra lines.

| This may be old news to you but i've found a worthless cheat to reset tetris
without turning off your GB. Simply press select,A,B and then start and your
game will restart.
This information comes from the expert fingers of my son, Paul...
