<p>Earlier this year, the timeless tile-matching puzzle game was reinvented as a battle royale known as <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/tetris_99">Tetris 99</a></strong> on the Switch. Nintendo followed this up recently with the release of the paid Big Block DLC – adding two new offline modes. If you’re perhaps seeking more of a classic fix, how about <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/gameboy/tetris">Tetris</a></strong> on an old school flip-dot display? This outdated animated technology was once commonly used for outdoor signage and has since become replaced by modern LCD screens.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5f5i5H1GxsaATCoXB3274w">YouTuber sinowin</a> has managed to <a class="external" href="https://github.com/sintech/Flip-Dot-Display">create</a> falling tetriminos with a flip-dot display made up of 210 plastic discs and the assistance of a small DIY joystick and computer. Although the grid isn’t the standard size, it’s still worth watching the video above for the sound alone. If you don’t happen to have a flip-disc display on-hand, why not take some time out next weekend to participate in the Tetris 99 competition – giving you the opportunity to unlock a special Game Boy theme.</p>
<p><em>Does this video make you want to play some more Tetris 99? How about some Tetris on an old flip-disc display? Tell us below.</em></p>
