Tetris: Hardcore Tetris is a modification of the classic Tetris game for the Game Boy, designed to increase the difficulty. The hack offers various versions, primarily targeting the 1.1 release of the original game. Gameplay features adjusted speeds and mechanics, making lower levels more challenging and introducing kill screens at higher levels. It emphasizes the intense challenge, particularly at level 9d and beyond.
If you think that the Game Boy version of Tetris is easy? Then this hack will enhance the experience by making it harder.
There are different versions of this hack included in this package and most of 'em are for the 1.1 version of the game.
Also includes files specifically made for BizHawk.
If you like, there's also encoded movies in the deluxe package which is optional and be downloaded from my website.
