Now this plays more like a washed-down arcade Atari version.tsubasaplayer162023-06-21Version 1.0

This Tetris game is not the greatest, but extremely unique in its aesthetic. The music especially is part of that reason. In case you're out of the loop on this game's soundtrack, all of them are near identical to the arcade Atari version. In fact, no other Tetris game uses these soundtracks other than these two as far as I know. In the vanilla (unlicensed) Tengen Tetris game, you can only select one track and you're stuck with it until you get a game over. Now with this, every time you complete a level, it cycles through each track per level, which is pretty great considering that each of them are equally appealing to hear during gameplay (until you keep getting the same pieces consecutively that you don't want and end up wanting to throw your game out the window for that awful RNG). It's like you now have washed-down port of the arcade Atari version (since it's missing some features). It's pretty neat, I must say.
