 Let's Play "Tetris Friends" Tetris Friends is a collection of various browser games that offer addictive little spins on everyone's favorite puzzle game. The idea was to log in, play the games, compete with friends, compare scores and badges and buy things. It was a quick, cute go-to place for all your most basic Tetris needs, and had a flavor to suit just about anyone. What happened? The games are all based in Flash, and Flash is dying. It's a sad state of affairs, but soon Tetris Friends and its games will be gone forever. Preserving them for future generations to play would be incredibly difficult, because they seem to only load when they detect an online advertisement is running properly before start-up. The games won't blow anyone away, but they still deserve to be preserved. I have a friend that deeply loves Tetris, and I'll be using their footage while providing commentary about the various games from both an expert and casual player's perspective. Don't expect an emotional rollercoaster, but it should still be enjoyable. Videos

You can check if it's been archived on flashpoint, and if not, request it be added to the archive.

Already had someone pretty familiar with flash try to archive it, but I'll check there next. Doesn't change the fact that the social networking aspects and multiplayer functionality would be gone, though. Edit: Put in a request on Flashpoint for the other games.

This is where I'd put footage of Tetris Burst, if I could.

It turns out it's much worse than I anticipated, and over a dozen Tetris game are going down at once on May 31st, not just Tetris Friends. I may close the thread and focus on preserving as many of them as possible with a different method, we'll see.

Our march continues with arguably the most straightforward score attack game ever produced.
