I sucked at Tetris the first time I played at a friends (on his parents Commodore 64) house in a "round robin" 1 play per person rotation. I just could not get into it. Then I purchased it for the NES and was able to give it some actual play time and got good at it. My favorite level to start on is level 5 of the NES game, I just love the shading of blues they used for that level.
