Oh joy of joys, if you loved the 1984 game of Tetris or the 1989 game of Columns , you’ll be pleased to know a brand new puzzle overhaul of Tetris 2 by František Fuka has been released for the ZX Spectrum. This excellent game that was originally released for the ZX Spectrum in 1990, has not only been made more suitable for modern players who already played NES Tetris, Tetris 99 etc, but it features a new scoring system, new colours and much much more.
One of the most popular games of all time was a tile-matching, block rotating puzzle video game first released in 1984 which became a huge hit on the Gameboy in 1989. It just had to be the classic ‘Tetris’; a game that caused many people to spend hours playing to the point of addiction. Although we’ve had numerous clones over the years some of them good and some of them rather bad, today’s Tetris Champsion Edition is another Tetris you really should be playing!
UPDATE : I’ve recently been informed that Tetris Championship Edition may have been updated on itch io. Although I’m not sure if it’s the same version as the one released in 2020 going by the fact they both say 1.0. The developer has noted all of the changes listed below.
- * New Korobeiniki AY tune
- * 50 FPS modes
- * Kempston joystick support
- * you can hold left or right key and piece will move continuously in that direction (you had to press these keys many times before);
- * soft drop implemented;
- * you can now rotate pieces to the right (previously it was only to the left);
- * accordingly, Redefine Keys screen has been changed;
- * the randomizer has been greatly improved, now the same frequency of all pieces is guaranteed;
- * scoring system has been changed: now it’s much more profitable to clean several lines at once, especialy 4;
- * the level increases when a certain amount of lines is cleared (previously it did not change at all);
- * the number of levels in the classic mode has been increased: earlier, only levels 1-8 were available, now it’s 0-9 by default and 10-19 with DROP key pressed;
- * theoretically the number of levels is not limited;
- * two tracks by František Fuka was replaced by another tracks by the same author;
- * in Tetris 2 mode all levels have been redone (now there are 50 of them, but there will be more), and this mode was named Puzzle;
- * cheat mode for Puzzle was added;
- * Normal Tetris mode was renamed to Classic;
- * now you can listen to music along with 48k effects (you had to choose one or another before);
- * colors of the pieces have been changed according to modern Tetris Guidelines (although orange was replaced with white, because there is no orange on the ZX Spectrum);
- * pieces has texture now (only one for now, but there will be more);
- * Puzzle mode now has harder levels limited by a timer (in the original, there was simply a transition to a new level if time was out).
