	NeGAtiv4k 15 Apr 2020 19:38 @geget2 to cheevos "Palku-palku davay" "return to sender" need use cheats
	GegeT2 15 Apr 2020 21:53 ok thank you but i don't understand use cheats, in the folder of nes cheats no tetris tengen, so where is the cheats? sorry...for my bad english
	JAM 16 Apr 2020 03:59 They are exists, documented and could be found on almost any side with guides and passwords.
	JAM 16 Apr 2020 04:01 And I have to write this. Using I-block and remove block cheats will unlock related achievement but disable all other achievement until reset.
	JAM 16 Apr 2020 04:14 Level up cheat allowed only for few achievements where it give you no major advance.
	JAM 16 Apr 2020 04:18 1T Acme Corp require 999 drop bonus which depends on level you are on and the height on which block is landed with force.
	GegeT2 16 Apr 2020 08:08 ok i understand now, thank you @JAM
	GatoBoldon 16 Oct 2020 17:03 Mastered. Thank you for the great set (I hate you CPU, I don't forget XD).
	APN 24 Dec 2020 14:55 Hi! I don't understand this achievements: Not odd job (25) (131)Start with handicap 12 and clean the stack completely [number of starting blocks must be even]What is "starting blocks"??
	GatoBoldon 24 Dec 2020 15:00 The blocks on the screen. There can be 10 blocks per line, so it is easier to count the void spaces (they must be also even).
	ZingKing 20 Dec 2021 11:06 This game is amazing on the NES. Never knew it existed. The challenges are fun too, thank you.
	N99614 8 Apr 2022 11:03 Tetris attack would not unlock for me with mesen, but unlocked with nestopia
	PaddyW 20 Jul 2022 17:12 What exactly does "start the game when timer is below 0 03" mean in the Low Level and Low Score achievement description?
	NeGAtiv4k 29 Aug 2022 07:05 after reset press start 5 times more faster to start game and try this cheevo
	Xziled 21 Apr 2023 19:50 Cheat codes, pause and press: ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ← → B B Ax8 - Level up ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A - Long Block ← ↓ → ↑ ← ↓ → B A - Remove Block Some cheevos require speed, quite hard to get without level up cheat. I hated some of these, quite rng and excessively hard, I think they were tought for save state gameplay.
	MagicSoup 4 Nov 2023 14:57 Major league letdown working hard to get the mechanically difficult achievements and then getting a stinker like 'Perfect Clear'
	VAdaPEGA 25 Jan 2024 16:16 These are some of the most sadistic achievements on the site, a good bunch of them rely entirely on luck due to the nature of the game.
	ojijo 22 Jul 2024 22:15 Pretty hard due to RNG and dumb CPU, but I've enjoyed the set and the game. The achievements are creative. The only one that I think is out of place and feels like a bad design is "Faster than Death", which is essentially a 800 lines challenge with added randomness of CPU which might top out at any moment. It taught me empathy to inanimate objects, though. I were glancing at CPU and thinking: "bruh, what are you doing, put it other there, you have it in you".
	brunothe7th 24 Aug 2024 15:28 After FINALLY beat da game I can say THERE'S NO WAY I'll mastered it There is too much achievements based more on luck than factual skill
	Rozario 2 Feb 2025 03:45 why is there no achievement: clear a complete stack?
