This might be the earliest game that is linked to my existence, as my mother bought a Game Boy and played this while pregnant :). Later on I played the same cartridge on my first gaming console: a green Game Boy Color. I cannot fathom the amount of hours I've played this game in my life.

When going to University, I found my Game Boy Color in a closet. After swapping out the batteries I realized that it still worked perfectly and I played it throughout Uni, sometimes even during lectures. I remember all my friends being excited when I got close to breaking my personal record, it was a really fun time.

Of the recent versions I really liked Tetris Effect (even if only for the phenomenal trailer). Tetris 99 is also pretty cool, but I'm really bad at competitive tetris so I never even got close to winning.

Totally forgot about Tetris 99, had a great time playing!

I bought Tetris effect for the psvr and haven't tried it out yet, haha.

So cool you got to play the same cartridge as your mother played!

For a long time I thought I didn't like Tetris very much. Tetris 99, Tetris Effect and Puyo Puyo Tetris made me reconsider that. Turns out I just needed a push, and now I occasionally spend hours on the stuff, gladly.

I think excluding rhythm games, Tetris must be one of the only game that gets me into "the zone".
