Tetris, developed by Andromeda Software and Published by mirrorsoft in 1988.
“From the blasted plains beyond the Urals comes the most remarkable computer game yet. The same minds that produce chess champions have developed a cunning game that deceives through its simplicity. Teris is a new world from Russia. Tetris a totally original concept in gaming. Tetris addiction is just a game away. Play Tetris.”
The development of this one is an odd one. Andromeda and Mirrorsoft released their version of tetris on all the 8/16 home computers of the time and all follow pretty much the same development mandate. Then there is the C64 version. It’s totally its own game and not following all the rules of the other versions. The are differences in number lines, line scoring and you can't turn off the ‘next piece’ preview. While other versions feature music by David Whitaker, the C64 version has a long 25+ minute track by Wally Beben and is the real star of the show and a reason this game will get loaded again and again.
For this longplay I try play tetris and survive the full lengh of the music but I crumble a minute or 2 before the end, but not to worry as the music is continuous. Maybe my memory is failing me but I don't think the Vice 3.3x SID emu sounds as good as whatever I had back in the day. Forget about how bad I am at the game and just try to enjoy the music. I play on level 8 to stand some chance of making it to the end. Level 9 is a bit too fast and gives no time at all to spin or move when you get near the top of the screen. At the end of the video I play a quick round on Level 9 with Sound FX which are uninspired compared to the sfx in other versions.
An obvious issue with the game is the flickering Tetriminos which can become annoying fast. Also moving the pieces can be a little sluggish as they drop faster than they can move left or right causing major problems once you get near the top of the screen.
An interesting side note, I recall from the Spectrum version that there is a text scroller on the title screen that lists the games credits and then encourages you to go check out the C64 version for its awesome music! In that version the music loops like every minute which is quite distracting so is generally better to play with sound effects which are not bad actually. That said the game isn't all that playable. Who thought it was a good idea to set up as increase level(Speed) with no way to come down again.

Back in the days, when I was a kid and loaded this game, I though something Epic will happen based on the title screen. And then game the blocks 😊 Do not get me wrong, tetris is a great game, but maybe a 10 years old expects something more cool.
Simple yet epic. The haunting soundtrack is half of the game. I remember loading this game back in the days purely for the song.

What a spooky version of Tetris.
Is this H.R. Giger presents tetris?

Same here!!!
Thank you for covering this, my first game on the Commodore 64!
This brings back so many memories of my Jr High days... I played a lot of Tetris on C-64. Definitely one of the BEST tunes every composed for Commodore 64!
So... Creepy and dark
I used to leave the title screen on just to listen to this game's iconic OST written by musician Wally Beben. I'd challenge myself to play at least as long as the entire piece lasted. In what may explain the title screen art Beben described this piece as an epic battle between two wizards, and imo he achieved that. This was the first instrumental where I understood music could tell a story without a single word.
TOOL wants their album cover back. But seriously I can just sit with this video playing just to listen to the music.

now i wanna see how Maynard plays Tetris all day long
Such a bizarre loading screen! Really cool music though. I got this in a pack called "Supreme Challenge" which had Elite, Tetris, The Sentinel, Ace 2 and Starglider (such an amazing pack) and needless to say, Elite was definitely the most played out of the bunch, although I would sometimes load this up just to chill to the music for half an hour ;)

This game appears to be rather simple; I wonder if it features much replay value.

The original version was created for a Soviet computer called Electronika 60 in 1984.

This was probably "magic" in 1989 (or whenever it came out) BUT, the Commodore 64 can do better than this!
