I actually never played old Tetris, even though I had a NES and a gameboy. I was kinda late on the Tetris bandwagon.
There’s a sort of NES Tetris mode in Tetris Effect. Having played mainly “modern” Tetris, like DS, standard Effect and 99, I just hadn’t realized how I’d miss all the little things that were refined around the 90s. No hard drop, no super rotation, completely random block distribution, no hold… Rough.
Weird that a game that looks exactly the same could feel that different.

If you want to get weirder, Tengen released the first version of Tetris on NES. It looks better. It plays worse.
