Got 50000ish in tetris on level 11 and it was getting really fast. I don't like the "feel" of the controls in this version.

:eek: How? What strategy do you use?
 
Just keep getting tetrises when it's nice and slow, and stay alive later on?

I guess I have a lot of practice from playing Ztris on my ti-83 :p
 
Where can I find a good ol' Atari Pong?
 
another good pacman place is http://www.pacmanflash.com"
