New Strategy

I found out about a new (err… the article was dated 1993, so I guess it's not so new) strategy when playing the normal Type A game: start from level 9. I've always known the value of the lines is dependent on the current level, but it's always been my custom to start from level 0.

Apparently, when starting from level 9 you must aquire 90 lines before the game moves to level 10 (which makes the game more difficult). In contrast, when starting from level 0 you move up a level every 10 lines or so and the value of the lines isn't worth nearly as much. I figured it was more beneficial to rack up as many Tetris's as you can while the pieces were moving slow, even though you're sacraficing points.

I've heard stories of people posting 300,000+ scores using this strategy. One of over 500,000, but I'm not too sure I believe that one. I'm definately going to give this one a try.
