Back when the Nintendo Gameboy (the old-school grey one, that weighed ten pounds) first came out, DH and I had just started dating (this was 16 years ago). It was one of his first gifts to me. Can you believe it? It cost $110. I know. Isn't that funny? It wasn't a romantic gift, by any means, but he really did want to get it for me because he knew how much I loved hand-held games when I was nine/ten years old. The Gameboy came with Tetris, and I played that Gameboy everyday until I hit level ten each time, and I could beat the computer. Then, at the end, the Russian dancers would dance around and the Space Shuttle would launch (do any of you remember this?)
Anyway, that's why I'm good at Tetris. It has come from years and years of practice! :biglaugh: Pretty pathetic when you think about it (really) but that explains it all. LOL! I'm just getting used to the arrow keys on the computer. It's different on the gameboy because you use both hands to press the A and B buttons and the arrow key to move the blocks around.
