First try to do as
many Tetris as possible until you reach a Level that you think
is faster than your skills.. then keep the game as low and FLAT
as you possibly can. Always start on level 0 if you want a high
score and (or) many lines. Don't use Level 9 if you are not using
it for practice. Always remember.. "Practice is the key to a higher
score" |

Go for as many tetris's
as possible upto level 20 (25 for the more experienced player).
Build up a wall leaving a line for a stick to complete a tetris
or 2. Anything higher then this leave "2" lines to put any disscarded
pieces to bring the stack down slightly. After level 20 or 25
go for lines keeping the board as low to the ground as possible!
Don't get too greedy! Unless you can sneak in a tetris. DONOT
build for 2 tetris's! |

Start with level 0.
Until 20 level risk and wait for only four lines. Then try to
go to the bottom and stay there as long you can. If there is a
chance to make four lines, go for it, but not if necessary. Only
with practise you become good and fast... Practise and pray for
sticks! |

If possible put on
the Smashing Pumpkins CD "Twilight to Starlight" The first few
songs get me into a good mood. When "Tales of a Scorcher Earth"
comes on I am on about line 370 and it gets my blood pumping and
it makes me go ballistic when I play Acid Tetris. |

The best approach
for the game is global vision - stare at the centre of the screen
and practice viewing both the shape falling and the lie of the
blocks below without moving your eyes - only then can you achieve
success at the high levels. |
| Will Smith |

Start at level 0 and
focus on getting "tetris'". After the speed gets to fast for you
survive by keeping blocks as low as possible. The sides are the
hardest to move a piece to, so places pieces there first. |

Keep working at hand-eye
coordination. push yourself, but don't go over your comfort line
while playing. never give up on getting tetris'...When you think
it's going too fast to get more, move your hole to the middle
of the screen. Take doubles and triples where you can get them
at the higher levels, as they are worth much more than two or
three singles, respectively. |

Just keep one side
open for the long one, it will pay off! But keep at least one
backup plan, just in case! If you can`t get BIG points early,
the game will get too fast for you to beat the highscores. Go
for a perfect start, with only dropping four lines at a time,
then try to stay calm as long as possible. |
| Craig Chu |
1,137,200 |
272 |
Don't try to keep
the stack low (contrary to what others might tell you). Keep going
for the four lines at a time if you think there is even a chance.
If you're conservative, you'll never get a monster score before
the overly fast levels. If you're greedy, you'll occasionally
get monster scores. Take your pick: never or occasionally. |

I have a three part
strategy: 1) Prior to playing I put lots of saline solution in

I've found that trying
to beat your own high score is a lot harder than trying to eliminate
a friend's from the high score page. Oh, and a good girlfriend
rooting for you helps too. Stick around for the fast levels, that's

I like to leave one
column along either side open until a long, straight piece comes
and I can eliminate four rows at once. I also try to plan ahead
so that when the stack gets too high, I have a way to lower the
stack without a straight piece and still keep an open column on
the side. |

Start around level 6 because
before that the points are insignificant, and frustration becomes
probable as the urge for four lines causes early deaths. When
the speed get ridiculously fast, I like to create a diagonal
slope on the board from upper right to lower left because of
the fact that the pieces start closer to the right side. Always
leave at least one plateau for the squares, and avoid deep chasms
when not going for four lines |

help me concentrate. Also, never use the down key when you are
above Level 12, it gets a lot faster after that. Finally, don't
try to keep the stack small, you can get some quickie 2-liners
and 3-liners if the stack is in the middlish. |

Go for Tetris (four rows) all
the time, but know your limits. Play the music you like. (I
prefer 'Continuum' because it makes me calm and consentrated.)
The more you play, the better you get! Know where to put the
next piece before pushing the down-button when you play on the
higher levels, or you'll soon get a piece in a place you didn't
want it... Start on a higher level. ( I start on level 5) It's
a good idea to keep all the columns at about the same level,
or you might suddenly be in need of a lot of yellow pieces...

The key to high scoring is the
correct method of preparation. Buy a Hootie and the Blowfish
album. Break it. Get your hands on an old Soul Asylum album.
Destroy it. After sufficiently unleashing your rage, you should

Find out what makes you good.
If you're better calm and collected, put on "Continuum" or "I
See It Now". If you're better when you're hyped up, listen to
"Costumed" or "Tearing Up SpaceTime". Early on, go for Tetrises.
As the game speeds up, make sure you have a place to put each
block. Go for small scores, because the Tetris block comes less
often than you think it does |

Don't worry about getting high-row
counts, concentrate on keeping the row-height as low as possible. |

In the beginning try to get
as many true Tetris's (4 lines at once) as you can. Around
level eight or so, start playing your pieces horizontally
so they don't stack up so fast, and concentrate on getting
1 or 2 lines at a time. |

Start with level 9 and work
your way up. Also, put all the pieces on one side and leave
one whole row with nothing on it and when those long yellow
pieces come, shove them down there and watch those blocks
fly! |

If you can just block out everything
that's going on around you and try to plan, you can move on
up there, no sweat. If I, a grandmother, can do it - anyone
can. |

If you can,keep the stack low.If
you get a piece that doesn't fit right,that put it in the
lowest place you can find,and then no longer concentrate on
clearing the bottom rows,work on the highest rows.Then,after
you get them cleared start back up on the lower part.And....Always
have the music on...it helps. |

Practice, practice, and i'm
sure this comes as a big surprise: PRACTICE! Having the music
on helps greatly. The less distractions the better. |

Start on a higher level and
really concetrate. Let your fingers control the keys not your
mind. Most important is to pick the right music for you. |
