Micro Arcade Tetris,Multi

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It is truly micro gaming without sacrificing usability. The buttons are the right size and the screen is very clear and well designed. I played it a bit in the package because I was going to be gifting this to someone but decided I needed it. It is so small it will easily fit in a pocket in a bag in case you are caught waiting somewhere. I played a bit with the sound on but the music can only last for so long before I muted it, and it has a mute button which is a great function to add. Build quality feels very sturdy. I will have to get another for gifting.

Great item.Really like it.Too bad you can not save the score or pause the game.

I've always loved Tetris, so for the low price available ($10 when I bought it), this seemed like a fun way to waste some time when I don't feel like browsing on my phone or taking out my other video game consoles. The incredibly small size makes it easy to slip this into a pocket for whenever you think you might need to fill a little time. The physical buttons on the device are so much more satisfying than trying to play with touchscreen controls like you would on a phone (especially for a game like Tetris). I do wish they the developers had included some of the more recent additions to the classic Tetris gameplay, such as the ability to "hold" pieces, and the "shadow" of the pieces at the bottom to be able to line up shots (especially on such a small screen). The screen is a bit small, but that comes with the territory of a credit card-sized game, and the buttons are a bit noisy (it drove my wife to annoyance as I played beside her in bed). But really, this is a great little device to just have around for when you, if you're like me, get an urge to just play some Tetris, the all-time classic.

i enjoy it, the fun is somewhat short term. it has one game but its a solid game. the button clicks are firm maybe a little loud depending on your environment. the screen is nice and clear, the audio is silencable through a toggle switch on the top. and the battery life lasts, ive charged it once? and ive owned it for a couple months now so id say its neat.

It works well and there is no bugs or glitches and it is very compact and easy to store the screen is just a tiny bit difficult to see and read.

This little credit card sized arcade game has everything:1. Control panel easy to work2. Rechargeable with included micro USB3. Can play while plugged into USB, while charging.4. Nice full color5. Fits in small pocket or phone holder6. OptionsA. 3 level volume (0,50,100%)B. Hard drop7. Small, but I can see easily even with imperfectsight.I never played tetras, but I've always wanted to. I was vacillating between this model type, or tiny arcade type game. I chose this one because of its rechargeability.

I have the original black and white screen Micro Arcade Tetris and it is superior in every aspect. Except for the color screen there is nothing this device does not do worse and even the color is debatable since the battery lasts way less. Compared to the previous version this one has inferior gameplay, for example it has an annoying 3-2-1 counter before each game, it pauses and displays "Level up" message every time you level up which is interrupting the game flow, it has no ghost/shadow projection of the dropping piece which is a must on such a small screen and it is very easy to often misdrop tetrominos off by 1 which is super frustrating. High scores are erased if you turn off the game -- what the hell!? That must be a bug. The sounds are weird and annoying, even moving pieces produces an annoying beep and the lame music plays initially shortly and there are no sound effects and then the music stops and sound effects start -- initially i thought my unit was broken in that aspect but no, that is by design (?) If this was the only credit card sized Tetris i would've given it maybe 3 stars but it loses a star for being inferior to its predecessor. However the predecessor is not available anymore and it fetches insane prices on eBay so it keeps one additional star for being the only reasonable available option. If you have the original black and white device do NOT buy this one for gameplay. Only buy if you are a collector (like me, so I won't return it for that reason alone). If you want Tetris in this form factor or for nostalgia reasons and don't have the original one then go for it -- there is nothing else available for this price and the unit is super cute and compact like all other Micro Arcades in this form factor. It's a shame they did not simply keep the original software and just added the color, missed opportunity.

It's Tetris. I don't know what it is but my parents loved it and so it has been a game I've played since I was 2. Yes, I have better versions on modern consoles but it's the size of a business card(thicker of course). For that I get hours upon hours of enjoyment. As such worth every penny. Always think of things as a cost per hour.
