Game Description:
Nintendo's version of Tetris for the NES/Famicom. Unlike the Tengen version, this game only supports one player (by default).
Hack Description:
This game includes 18 shapes each consisting of 5 blocks that must be pieced together on a 14x22 playfield with completed rows being cleared. It's like Tetris but with more frustration.

Included is a separate Anydas patch that provides granular control over the Delayed Autoshift (DAS) settings. The DAS setting, presented in hexadecimal, controls the initial delay in number of frames. The Auto Repeat Rate (ARR), also presented in hexadecimal, controls how many frames between shifts after the initial delay. The ARE Charge setting when enabled allows the DAS charge to occur during entry delay. (ARE describes entry delay and does not stand for anything)


v1.2 updates:

* DAS Controls (Thanks to Hydrantdude for original code)
* Fixed bug with toprow bug
* Fixed b-type level display bug
* Piece colors updated (Thanks to Thunderstorm281)
* Disabled rocket screen for scores 500k
* Pause no longer hides playfield
* Curtain removed, board is displayed until start pressed
* Piece stats available from pause or topout by pressing dpad or a/b
* Reduced entry delay from 20-40 frames to 15-29 (breaking demo)
* Demo disabled until new demo is recorded
