Don’t let the game’s Pizza Hut cross promotion fool you — it came with a $5 off coupon printed on the back of the instruction manual — TMNT II was a much better game than its shameless advertising hijinks would suggest.

The AI easily shatters previous world records by prioritizing clearing four-line tetrises. Then the game completely melts down.

They study the principles of developing a relatively even stack with a built-out left side, and discuss how dropping a pair of tetrominoes in a complementary orientation can reduce the need for a timely T-piece.

If you ever manage to win a match then the feeling would be out-of-this-world great.
