Play Tetris Online
Tetris is a 1989 puzzle game for the Game Boy, developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo, and bundled with the console in North America and Europe. Players rotate falling tetrominoes to fill rows on a 10×18 field. A-Type is an endless marathon; B-Type clears 25 lines from a set height. It was the first Game Link Cable title, with cleared lines sending garbage to the opponent.
