Firstly, Stacksmashing reverse-engineered the data from an actual link cable. Needless to say, it requires a lot more behind-the-scenes effort to pull off. The hack also works with the wider Game Boy family, including the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Advance. As a result, two or more people can play against each other over the Internet from anywhere in the world. Well, Stacksmashing's hack basically uses a tricked-out USB adapter (which relies on a Raspberry Pi Pico and some level shifters) to connect to the Game Boy's link port to bring it online. Those old, or lucky, enough to have experienced the old-school Tetris may recall playing head-to-head with others using the handheld's Game Link Cable accessory. A professional tinkerer has figured out a way to add online multiplayer to the Game Boy version of the iconic game from 1989. If that game tickled your competitive instincts - and rekindled your love for frenzied block-stacking - then this new hack for the OG Tetris could be for you.
Not that long ago, Nintendo gave the world a new spin on the battle royale genre with the addictive Tetris 99.
