My highest score (on emulator) is sitting at around 200,000 something
I can't seem to do very well with this Flash game - too used to A or D being the "rotate" button :D

Yah, can we use a version of the game that allows us to rotate both ways?

Or have I just not been able to find out how to get it to rotate the other way on this one?

I wonder why I played Tetris on internet? I have a few versions on my comp already.

My mom and I used to have insane Tetris competitions. Some truly huge scores can be spawned by parent-child cmpetitiveness. I'll have to give this a shot... more later.

Edit: BAH! stupid short screen! I can only get about 25500. My usual "set up 4x rows" kills me.

I can't help but have the Tetris song play in my head when I read this thread.

I got 139 lines on the original nintendo tetris last night, I dunno how that translates to the current competition.

Jeez, even I'm having some trouble beating my score . . . the closest I've gotten to it again so far is about 123,000. :P
