I remember there was a release of Tetris on the NES by Tengen (Atari Games) that was based on the Atari Games ARCADE version, both are considered by many to be superior to Tetris from Nintendo. Thanks for the ARCADE ports to Amiga
Excellent game. A friend of mine played it:

Excellent! Congrats!
I can't believe it, I waited all my life for this port :D
Excellent Tetris to Amiga, thank you. I also added it to my "Gameplay of New Amiga Games from January 2024" -video too.
Very nice arcade conversion. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 04:01:43. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Nicely done!
But is it too late to ask for new gameplay features/improvements?
you can report bugs. A new version will be released with some bugfixes
Thanks for your response!
I do find the Gameboy Tetris to be the topmost Tetris in my opinion.. mainly because of the way it randomizes the pieces.
Would you be able to copy the piece randomizer from it?
Some had said it uses a 2 bag (14 piece) shuffler, but while playing the GameBoy version I was writing down the pieces that appeared so I see it uses an algorithm. Here is a list I made of the amount of pieces I got while playing for a couple of minutes.
7 x O
3 x L
4 x J
11 x S
5 x Z
6 x I
9 x T
This tells me there is no 14 piece shuffler or even 24 piece shuffler.
Digging around about this I found this article which explains how the Gameboy randomizer works.

Would you be interested in adding this randomizer or perhaps applying it to a future development?
that's the kind of feature that could be mixed in the game without too much hassle.
If you are interested in adding this feature then that will be just awesome!! This was like it was destined for you, I believe nobody else would have understood it better!! Cant wait to see it!
I was playing in 2p mode, seems both players get a different random seed.. it does happen that they get the same from time to time.. but could there be possible an option or have them to always get the same pieces so its a fair competition?
Good game!
very good
Just wnted to drop in and let you know I did a video covering your work here. Quite impressive, I look forward to more updates on this and to see how much it improves.

Awesome!
very good
Great idea, looking forward to playing it. Sadly having trouble loading it on an A1200 (emulated).
Are there specific settings required on WinUAE and / or is there a specific setup required in terms of RAM/CPU/ROM/FPU ?
For such a "basic" game it would be nice to have a stock A500, kick 1.3, 1MB version :) not sure if that is something you are considering.
Thanks for your work!
fixed a somehow original game bug that only triggered on slow machine. I tested it on slow machines where it used to crash and now it runs great
The technology involved doesn't allow anything non-AGA, so no A500 sorry
