Perhaps more interesting is Hatetris http://qntm.org/files/hatetris/hatetris.html which is programmed to always give you the worst possible piece. Just try to clear a line!
Well it always gives the same piece... Of course you can't finish a line. What does it prove?
Another fun (for some value of fun) variant is Hell Tetris[0] based on xkcd[1]. 0 - http://www.kongregate.com/games/banthar/hell-tetris 1 - http://xkcd.com/724/

But I did manage one line on my second attempt :)
Why does the down button suddenly become the up button when the block rotates. Shouldn't it stay the same?
It does add an extra level of challenge though! :)
Very cool indeed, especially because the concept is not something astonishingly complex. Check out NightMode and Exsistential Crisis I consider the latter one to be the crown of this concept. It looks even better and you have to memorize the structures laid, which makes it more interesting (especially since once you've grasped the original idea, the normal mode is not that hard at all)
Darn, I was hoping for a perspective from the block itself looking down on the already placed blocks. Second-person tetris then? [on a side note, I really need to learn how to game the front page. 2 year old, minute twist on 30 year old game -> front page. write a new game from scratch -> dustbin]
like Blockout from the 90s? https://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&biw=1920...

Did playing that make anyone else nauseous?

It doesn't give you the same piece every time. If it did, you could finish a line just by lining each S-shaped piece on it's long end. I managed to pull off a 4-line score: 20C2 AAAA AAAA 8CAA AAAA AAAA AEAA AAAA A5EA AAAA AD5A A2AA 0000 AA32 0AAA AAAA B0A9 552A AAAA ADAA AAAA B62A AAAA AB2A AAAA A8C2 AAAA AAA3 2AAA AAAA D58A AAAD AAAA A8C0 2AAA A8C2 2AAA AA39 AAAA B0AA AAAA 3AAA A8C8 AAAA A36A A3AA A32A AA30 02AA 8C…
