Did people played Tetris in the 80s or 90s? They made Tetris Blitz for an Apple app, I have it on my iPad.

I used to have a Tetris watch that I would play Tetris on back when I was a child during school recess.

I was too young / stupid in the 90's to understand it, but the early 00's is another story.

I think they also released an overpriced version on steam that's filled with bugs, so I might have to revisit the N64 emu to relive the glory days that I remember :)

Yes, I played a lot of Tetris in the 90's- It came with my gameboy and I loved it. I still like Tetris but no matter how many new versions they make, I still prefer the good old original without anything else than the falling blocks.

I loved the original better, it was easy to understand, I had it with my game boy & with Sega.

The Gameboy version is not the original version of Tetris. It's the most iconic and IMO the best but not the original. The original game was programmed in Russia by Alexey Pajitnov for the Electronika 60:

There were also numerous ports to the home computers and the IBM PC before Nintendo made the game their own.

I love Tetris! :D Used to have a Tetris game of some sort on my phone, but uninstalled it for some unknown reason.

I was obsessed with my cheap little handheld Tetris in the 90s!

Mine wasn't even a proper Gameboy, just a cheap thing made by a company called Radica. It was just the blocks not even in color, and the Tetris music, though I turned that off. I still have it and just played it now, it still works.

I remember playing a compute game version of this. Tetris Max: It had great music.

My iPod touch has a touch-based Tetris -- but I HATE it. It's not the same as pressing the little physical buttons, which was part of my enjoyment of it, a tactile button experience rather than thumbs on a screen, ugh.

I didn't play it when it was first made. But in the 90s I had a Tetris handheld and later I had Tetris Worlds for both Game Boy Advance and Playstation 2.

I had a Disney Tetris game for Nintendo 64 but I sold that years later. I also have Tetris on my graphing calculator that I still occasionally play. I played it alot while I was in high-skewl. I graduated in 2001.

I have a clone of it on my phone called Blockinger. It's pretty decent, but not as good as BitBlocks. I really wish BitBlocks worked on current versions of Android. :(
