Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.

I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Maybe not the original Tetris, but there are many very popular arcade ports. Early versions of Tetris didnt even have line clears and the game just ended when the board filled.
i've never heard if a version of tetris without line clears. as far as i know it was in the original version distrubuted on floppy disks.
Yeah, quick Google search shows the original 1984 mono chromatic one had line clears and kept track of score. Homie is clearly making stuff up
