First Person Tetris: Stop what you're doing!

Go play First Person Tetris now! GO! You can read the next paragraph later!

Done? Are you dizzy? Cool, huh? Gotta love the Type-3 soundtrack and the VHS tapes on top of the scan line ridden TV! I scored 500 on my first try, post a comment with your high scores!

It's jewels like these that prove there is still hope on the Interwebs. Sure, the whole spinning your 15-years-ago bedroom thing appears to be a random novelty, but the truth is that it adds a whole new level of depth to the game as the image becomes a blur when rotating, and then it takes an instant or two to "adjust" to the new up. This forces you to make a quick decision, rotate fast, and hope you're done in time to land where you meant to. It's neat because I bet you never visualized yourself as the landing tetrominoes.
