63. Tetris Plus (LeonhartFour)
cnUPkjC

This is Tetris as it was always meant to be played! Okay, maybe not, but it's definitely the version I've had the most fun with over the years! Tetris Plus is basically Tetris combined with Lemmings, which sounds like a bizarre concept (and it kinda is), but it's a blast. Normally, the goal in Tetris is just to keep clearing lines and avoid letting the blocks stack up to the top, but there's an added wrinkle in Tetris Plus. There's a professor/archaeologist on the screen here, and the objective is to get him to the indicated exit. Now for a professor, this dude's pretty stupid. He'll walk straight ahead until he runs into something, and then he'll turn the other way and do the same thing. If there's a gap big enough for him to fit, he'll just fall through, even if it means plunging headlong to his death. Well, he does have infinite lives, so I guess he has a rather detached view of life and death! Anyway, you have to use the Tetris blocks to clear lines or block gaps so he can make it to the goal. Also, if you drop a block directly on top of him, he'll climb it. Oh right, to make things even more frenetic, there's a spiked ceiling that slowly drops the longer it takes you to reach the exit.

It's been a long time since I've played this, so maybe it's not as good as I remember, but my best friend and I played Tetris Plus a ton since there's a 2-player mode where the goal is to see who can get the professor to the exit the fastest. I don't know why, but we were utterly enchanted by this professor's abject stupidity. We would just yell and laugh in sheer delight at the screen as he died over and over again. Tetris Plus was just a source of dumb fun for the both of us, and I guess we were at the right age for it because middle school is the height of "dumb fun." I'd like to play it again one of these days to see if I still like it as much as I did then.
