    Are we talking about strictly Tetris concept only? Or any game that goes in that direction? Or about all games with “Tetris” in the name? And how far is it allowed to go, until its no longer Tetris? Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tetris_variants

    I grew up with Tetris on the original Game Boy from 1989. So I have a sweet spot for that game. There is Tetris & Dr. Mario on the SNES, which combines both games. I have so many memories with a friend playing a mixed mode where both games are played in a session. If we count anything that has Tetris in the name, then it’s Tetris Attack on the SNES for me.

    There are also Tetris variants I never played too much, but I think they would have been classics for me too. Tetris Battle Gaiden on SNES looks interesting and fun. Lot of people say Tetris The Grand Master (1 or 2) on Arcade (and later ported to other systems) might be the best version, but I never played it.

    In short, I don’t know how to answer this question. And I couldn’t with a certainty either I think.
