Gotta love the Я, but it doesn't make any sense since it's pronounced "Ya" in Russian.

In this video I want to see the limits of the Atari version of Tetris:
- there are 99 levels, beating 99 makes you play 99 again (1:49:34);
- the score rolls over from 1 million to 0, and it's fun to see because it's left-aligned, so there is garbage until I finish the level (1:03:41);
- lines keep counting just fine after 999 (1:07:54), but I cba to reach 9999, this already is almost two hours long.

In the end, my score is (1)782696.

This is NOT tool assisted, you can see TONS of errors throughout the video.

Have fun! Or don't, I'm fine either way.

    You have no idea the anxiety you're giving me every time you wait for that blasted straight piece LOL!! Nice video!

    9999 lines would take over 8 hours at least, and while it doesn't count past 99, it doesn't repeat 99, the normal round order still keeps going
  • Il mio gioco preferito al bar , nel 1989 arrivai anch'io al round 99 con un solo gettone poi rimaneva sempre 99 e dopo altri 3 round lasciai la partita.

    Level 12 and further... How do you achieve to fit the last red piece so high? Do you hold the stick in the desired direction or tap several times? I can't be so fast with red pieces even predicting the movement before they are on the screen. Thank you.
  • 99 levels without tool assistance? madman now I'm wondering if you can do the same on sega's arcade game...

  • I love the arcade version best but the NES version was awesome too. I am talking about the amico one not the actual NES one.

    I'm glad NES don't have this wet slap sample in store. This is disgusting. LOL
