Tetris-Style Games Ranked

 

Tetris is one of the most famous NES games of all and it certainly launched the Game Boy to stardom. So one would think that the original Tetris would easily be the best of the Tetris style games, well think again. Most of these games are great so pick em' up!

 

Agent K's Rankings

  1. Tengen TetrisIn my opinion Tetris is best played against another player and Nintendo's version of Tetris is missing this aspect. But Tengen has it all.
  2. Tetris 2 I realize most people consider this game to be the poor man's version of Dr. Mario, but apparently most people are crazy. This game is wayyy better than Dr. Mario.
  3. Dr. Mario – 2 player action is always great. But it's not Tetris 2
  4. TetrisFinally the almighty Tetris, no 2 player means bottom of the great Tetris games for the NES
  5. Hatris – Tetris with hats!! Nice little gimmick but nothing too special. Now Tetris with shoes, that would have been something special.

 

Unranked and Unplayed: 

  • Yoshi's Cookie
  • Yoshi
  • Wario’s Woods – We hear this one is great.
  • Pyramid – An AVE “masterpiece”.
  • Stakk’m – Found only on the Maxi-15 cart.

Agent J's Rankings

  1. Dr. MarioThis one isn’t quite as good as Tetris but since it has a 2-player option I’m placing it higher.
  2. Tetris – This one is awesome.  It is by far my favorite version of Tetris.  It has one major flaw though – no two-player option.
  3. Tengen TetrisThe legendary game that was once the most expensive game for the system.  What differentiates this game from other rare titles is that it is actually fun.  Too bad the 2-player option on this game is very disappointing and the overall gameplay isn’t up to par with the official Tetris release. 
  4. Tetris 2 – Tetris 2 has grown on me.  It doesn’t hold a candle to Tetris but it is a very enjoyable game and has a fun 2-player mode.
  5. Klax – An interesting idea and definitely more fun than Hatris.  This one gets pretty tough pretty quickly.
  6. Hatris - Very rare and somewhat fun.  Always a good one to bust out at a kegger.
