Step into the mesmerizing world of Classic Tetris with CTEC and its community. Prepare to bring the old school skills and play the greatest title from golden era of gaming. We pay homage to the ever-portable 8-bit Game Boy & iconic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). We challenge the best of the best with the European PAL format, short for Phase Alternating Line, which calls for the “killscreen” to approach faster and the skills to peak by the press of START.
Audience will witness the blocks come alive in 50 hz goodness and vanish in terror by the blink of an eye. Game Boy players will stack head to head through link-cable dedication and NES-players will line up in front of the row of CRT tubes and original consoles.
Join us at the annual event in Copenhagen and experience how the greatest players display the pulse-pounding action, as the Tetriminos fall in perfect harmony, creating a symphony of exhilaration that resonates with every updated scanline.
We welcome you on the third weekend of November, to this electrifying showdown where block-stacking skills and pixel-perfect precision take center stage!
It’s your change to become one of the legends who bares the title as CTEC champion, in this precision-engineered masterpiece.
But it’s not just about the game; it’s also very much about the vibrant community that brings this event to life both online and on-location!

More Champions!
Our TEAM and Championship is growing. So are the skills and demand for acknowledgement of different techniques. We look forward to CTEC 2023 where we will compete to find winners in the Game Boy category and NES category, with the new addition of a DAS tournament.
To simplify the different types of championship we are using the green logo to represent Gamy Boy the blue logo to represent the DAS tournament and the traditional yellow to represent CTEC in general, including subcategories from time to time.
CHECK OUT
DAS
DAS is the preferred NES techniques by many and considered to be the original style of playing to some. We acknowledge the qualities of DAS and will be arranging a tournament specially for this style of play in 2023.
Announcements related to DAS will often be styled in BLUE.
Game Boy
The original Game Boy was often bundled with Tetris and we know why. In fact – so did all of the world. This 8-bit regionfree monochrome version of Tetris has sold 35 million copies! With some players given a head start with the release back in ’84 we still ask: Who is the best Tetris player on the original Game Boy? Grab four double A’s and see if you can bring it when it is all portable.
CTEC has been competing on the classic Game Boy since our first Championship in 2015.
In the beginning there were no way of displaying the game to the audience, so commentators did it radio-style.
Soon after, Les Railtons did a VGA mod which worked for many years. In 2023 it was possible for users to practise with, and stream from home with a HDMI solution.
CTECs competitors and audience have never been more Game Boy displayed than now.
Announcements in relation with Game Boy will often be styled in GREEN.

CTEC WIKI
The webpage is currently undergoing a mayor “clean-up”. In the process classictetris.eu is being sorted and informative text & writings that serve as a reference point will be listed in that section. The text will be edited & adjusted and will be different from “news” which is updated instead of changed.
