Earlier quoted context omitted.

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!

Several years ago I ported and tweaked Bastet to Flash. http://blahg.res0l.net/2009/01/bastet-bastard-tetris/

I like Bastet much better than hatetris. Hatetris gave me mostly the same pieces, but bastet was much more varied and actually felt like I was getting somewhere and playing a normal game, except it was deceiving me and forcing me to build up too high, eventually forcing me to lose.

In the end, I got 2 lines in bastet and 3 lines in hatetris :)

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/

joining in with the Tetris variants: Futilitris http://twinbeard.com/140_futilitris

Ooh that's just mean. This is the point where I gave up: https://twitter.com/danielytics/status/313625082146738178/ph...

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]

You could always write a rant about how good stuff doesn't make it to the front page; usually that has a better chance of showing up in the front page than the good stuff itself.

Good idea. Then when I get that rant on the front page, I can write a guide on HOW I GOT TO THE FRONT PAGE. Those seem pretty popular.
