Tetris is one of the best-selling puzzle games, and there is reason for it...it's easy to learn, but so addictive! Dr. Mario is one of the best adaptations of the Japanese puzzle sensation "Puyo Puyo" ever seen. You get two great puzzle games in one cartridge! You can't go wrong!

This review is from: Tetris & Dr. Mario - 2 Game Cartridge (Video Game)

This is my alltime favorite Supernintendo game. The puzzles have always been my favorite...Tetris attack is great also. I play these when I have trouble sleeping. By the way, I am over 40 and have few games that keep my interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Puzzlers For the Price of One, November 10, 2003

This review is from: Tetris & Dr. Mario - 2 Game Cartridge (Video Game)

Anyone who enjoys puzzle type games will love this cartridge. It's got Tetris, the classic, and Dr. Mario, a fun variation, under one roof, so to speak.

Tetris is one of my favorite games ever, mainly because every time you play it it's different. The order of the pieces and your own brain determine so much. The object, in case you don't know, is to arrange falling shapes of various designs to fill complete lines. These lines then disappear. You get extra points for clearing more then one line at once. You can either start with nothing and clear as many lines as possible before you run out of room at the top, or you can play until you clear 25 lines. Either way, it's a fun test of reflexes and thinking power.

Not enough fun? Challenge a friend in head to head competition. This is something that was missing from the release on the original Nintendo, so I was thrilled to see it here. I love to play with my friends.

In Doctor Mario, you are shown a screen with some viruses on it. Your goal is to clear the viruses by arranging the vitamin pills that Mario throws in for you. When you have four color blocks the same, they disappear. While this is a fun game, it's basically a variation on Tetris 2, which is what I usually reach for when in the mood for a game like this. It also includes two player options.

Just in case these weren't enough for you, you can challenge a friend to a mix and match game involving Tetris and Dr. Mario.

I have spent many happy hours playing Tetris and its variations, and I don't see that changing in the near future. If these games are up your ally, you won't go wrong by getting this.
