Tetris 2 (Actual NES Capture) - Level 30 Clear

This is a capture of me playing Tetris 2 for the NES. This is not an emulator. This footage was recorded directly from my front-loading NES using a real Tetris 2 cartridge.

Back in the early '90s Nintendo began publishing a bunch of puzzle games following the incredible success of Tetris. These titles included Dr. Mario, Tetris 2, Yoshi, Yoshi's Cookie and Wario's Woods. My mother was a puzzle game fanatic back during this time, so she picked up all of these games except for Wario's Woods. Tetris 2 might have been the last NES puzzle game that my family picked up. We probably got our copy around 1994.

Tetris 2 basically feels like a combination between Tetris and Dr. Mario, and overall, I think it's fairly enjoyable. You can pull off some really crazy chains in this game, and half of the time they're completely unexpected. I didn't play this game too much by myself as a kid, but I would play the battle mode against my mother whenever I got the chance, which was a lot of fun. Also, the old TV commercial for this game is really funny, so if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and look it up.

For this video I completed Level 30 on a medium speed setting, then failed on Level 31. I'm by no means a puzzle game expert, so that's why I'm not playing a high speed setting.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and a composite connection at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the NES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard NES controller.
