I want to get a DDR mat! I wonder if I'd actually use it enough. I think it would be good exercise.

Yes, I have. I played it so long on a game boy once, I ended up flipping the game. I think I was a little addicted at this time. Now I have done this with Super Collapse as well.

It sucks you in, doesn't it? You lose track of time and before you realize it four hours have passed.

I love Tetris a lot. When I was younger I played in machines for a very long time, I was the younger of the top ten in the machine I played. I can say I was addicted to that Russian game. Even today at my cell phone I have Tetris and just made a new record over there. Great game. And for sure and many times when I´m trying to sleep I imagine new ways of making new rows. Great, great game.

When I first started playing Tetris back in 1992, I had played so long that my eyes went into a deep stare. I had passed the top levels and was creating levels that weren't even noted on the game instructions as even existing. The falling shapes were coming down so fast that it felt as if I was in a trance like state. I remember being afraid to even blink or I'd accidentally put the pieces into the wrong positions and really goof up my turn. I know I did blink, but to my surprise it was like I could still envision the falling blocks and was able to continue playing. I actually find playing tetris relaxing. My husband and children will play me a little while, but quickly give up out of boredom and just knowing Mom will win. I have to lose every once in awhile to keep them playing with me. Gotta like that kind of thing though.

Yup, this happens to me too often. It is not only with Tetris but with other games like Tetris too. I have actually had dreams about Tetris and when I play for too long I fall asleep seeing the blocks falling.

Yes! I've even woke up thinking about tetris! But that is only if I've been playing for a REALLY long time! That's when I know I need to put down the remote or mouse and step away from the game!

Yes, that's happened! Also when at my office I imagined that cubicles next to each other would move and fall into empty spaces in the room. Too much Tetris is not good.

any year or so back I was badly playing computer games though not Tetris and sometimes when I used to end up playing for say continuously four to five hours I would see the same colors in the same game every time I closed my eyes. I guess that happens with everyone

I definently have had those visions. It doesn't matter what game it is if I played it for a while it will happen. I have been playing a lot of Suduko lately so , I see different combinations of 1-9 in my head. When I play a lot of literati, I see different letters and words.

Hehe! Not that long, but pretty long! I can't even believe the crazy high scores I used to get. Now I don't have time to play generally. :(

It's not something you can sit down and play one game of... it kind of sucks you in and before you know everything else you were supposed to be doing is forgotten.

tetris - tetris
great 80's videogame! It's a classic and it will never die. It's been a lot i dont play to but i find it very funny. I never saw blocks with closed eyes though. It's very additive anyway:)
