I just found out that the original version of Tetris for the Game Boy is available on the Switch, so guess what I’m doing for the rest of the week?

Tetris is my nightly chill-out game. I must've bought several versions of it by now. Game Boy - Switch Online has a feature in settings that allows you to switch between different emulation modes: classic green Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, or Game Boy Color.
I grabbed one of those portable emulator game game consoles (a Miyoo Mini Plus) and managed to get all my friends hooked on the game once again when we were all off at a cottage. It’s impressive how captivating the original versions are.
Thanks for the heads-up - I thoroughly recommend Dave the Diver on the switch for a ‘chill out with occasional mild peril’ experience.
"Chill out with occasional mild peril" is exactly the sort of gaming experience that I look for. Will check out Dave the Diver!

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
