Addictive you say??

Okay, here is the the story: Last Wednesday, Cinthia and I decided to give some of the retro emlators on my XBox a try. Of course, we turned to a few games of Tetris to start things off.

We decided to try out a Tetris variant called Tetris Attack. This is an old game that came out of the Super Nintendo era. We both had never heard of it. We launched it and played... then we played, and played, and played. This has to be one of the most addictive 2 player "vs." mode ever!! The reason? Simplicity. You get better very quickly and when you lose, you know you had a chance to win it. You both get the same board to start with and it's by the compinations that you play that you change your board. you can play consevative, aggressive, it all works... until you get real good at it. then the real fun begins and you have to play for the kill. This little game simply rocks.we simply couldn't stop playing. You simply cannot get tired of this game.

Fast forward to Saturday night. Claude was over. We watched a some hockey, then played some MK: Shaolin Monks and then I showed him this little game at around 11:30 or so - thinking we would play a few games and move on. Well, we were hooked and played until 1:45 in the morning. This game is truly the devil reincarnated.

Do yourself a favour and get an SNES emulator and try this out with someone (the game is much, much better against someone).
