15 years later, Tetris is still near the top of my favorite games on the
go! Orignal or Worlds, but original is better.

I did purchase Tetris Worlds, but returned it to the game store. I
can't see how someone could screw up the concept of Tetris so bad, but
the makers of that game did their best!

I keep nicking my son's copy of Sega Arcade (which thanks to Dekay, he had
no choice but to buy...)

The implementations of Afterburner and Space Harrier are utter dross, but
Outrun and Super Hang on are great fun for a quick blast.
