Competition Tetris is a minor hack of Tetris, which the score can display up to 8 digits. This game will be used for competitions. This will be a future RetroZone product. I would like to see a run that aims for 99999999 points.

So you want a 40 minute TAS of the same thing over and over again?

NES TAS of 2021
Heh, it's meant to have controllable randomness too. So you pick the seed and it updates once per block or something. In other words, a large number of repeatable but long patterns. So you'd have to find the best set I guess? I don't know if this version has that or not. As an asside, for the competition the sponsor sort of forced the hands of the guys who were running it and it never got used :(

Yeah, you would be about a million points short of the maximum by the end of level 255, as the level reverts to 0. It would end by getting to level 27 for the second time, by that time you will have 99999999 points and 2700 lines.

At the very least you'd get to see all the screwed up colors that happen at around 1400 lines and all the stability problems that happen around 1600 lines.

Haven't posted this in a while, but the Classic Tetris World Championship replica ROM found on RetroUSB (TetrisA11.nes). There are now 7 digits in the score counter instead of 8. Don't be discouraged, we'll still make a TAS that goes to 255,999,999. 3460 lines per lap, It'll take over 8000 lines to get there. Press player 1 start for prelims (start on any level) Press player 2 start for finals (always start on level 9) Also, starting next weekend is the 2018 Classic Tetris World Championship. Be sure to watch it on Twitch for live coverage.
