Chaste Tris 1989 information

Chaste Tris 1989
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Chaste Tris 1989 is the latest Tetris game I have created. I keep remaking the same Tetris game, but this one is different for a few reasons.

1. The blocks are randomized like the original Gameboy, as you might notice in my demo videos.

2. The playing field is 18 squares high, just like the Gameboy version.

3. The game can load blocks that look similar to the Gameboy. It doesn't require the images, though. If the files are deleted, it will simply use black squares to display the blocks.

The game is dedicated to the year 1989 when the Gameboy and NES Tetris games were released. It's also no coincidence that 1989 was the year that my friend River was born. River was a massive inspiration to me and got me playing Tetris again in 2021 when we lived together.

Taylor Swift was also born in 1989, and that's why she made an album with the same title. I would also like to dedicate this game to Anastasia for turning me into a swifty.

The point is that 1989 was a great year. In 1989, I would have been two years old, and I was playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES, which our family had. Who could have guessed that video games would become such a massive part of my life and that 34 years later, I would be making my own Tetris game dedicated to that year?
