Tetris is a puzzle game for the Game Boy.

"Tetris - Rosy Retrospection" aims to combine the joyful nostalgia of playing
classic GameBoy Tetris with the established comfort of modern gameplay
mechanics.

This hack is published as patches in BDF and UPS format for the original game.
You don't need to apply both, just choose the format that's more convenient
