I only ever used it for Pokemon, but I'm sure there were other uses. (lemmy.world)

You could play multiplayer Tetris that way. I think I saw it once in my life.

Me and my brother did it on road trips in the family van. It was awesome.

There‘s also an excellent Gameboy Color romhack of Dr Mario that supports multiplayer. Recently tried that out with my girlfriend and it was a lot of fun.

Edit: this is it for anyone interested. Looks like even the original version for the Gameboy supports multiplayer.

What is multiplayer Tetris?

[–] KillerTofu 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, it’s complicated. See it’s Tetris but with multiple players.

No way, my mind can't even begin to comprehend

I played multiplayer Tetris frequently.

When you get lines, your opponent's stack pushes a line with a gap up from below, except when you get a Tetris, which pushes four lines (with the gap aligned, so you could Tetris back and forth).

You had an indicator for the max height of your opponent's stack next to yours.

Great game.

If you haven't experienced multiplayer tetris from the modern remakes you may be in for a treat. It's a lot of fun when you're up against someone of similar skill. At least one switch version includes ranked matchmaking (Puyopuyo Tetris).
