I really wanted to beat my old score and I've been trying for about a week now. I have a history final tomorrow and before I went to bed I thought I'd give it a shot.

I got over 593k as a score. At first I thought it was just 493k and I was excited because I finally beat my score but I beat it by over 160k more :D Very happy and I got a decent triple digit pay out as a jackpot :D

It was my first time playing in the past 2 days I believe and It was on the morning of my final - Hopefully this is a good sign that I'll do well

anyone want to challenge this score? I know I already set one for Skee Ball but Tetris is much more fun to me :D

And this one took me 13 seconds less to get a higher score than the old 429k one :D

How much better could you get? I mean, I would be amazed if I beat 20,000 points.

i used to play on a handheld and the arrow keys were on my left hand side and i guess i was faster with my thumbs lol

im still trying to find a good and reliable desktop recorder to show you guys my game play but all the ones i got only work with full screen games

Ah, I would love to see how you play and get so high on Tetris. I would let you know if I knew any game recorders, but I don't.

by full screen i don't mean maximize and fraps doesn't recognize Flash games as being games, they need executable files i believe because I've only gotten it to work with full games
