Want to be a hero? Want to be the center of attention? Want the glory, the fame? Want the girls’n’boys to come up and say, “Hi, I see that you’re good at Tetris”?

Now is the time! Time for Tetris!

We have searched for years and found the number one, more than once! But now, now the title is up for grabs. So take control flip the bricks and become, the Tetris European Champion of 2018! The Classic Tetris European Championship (CTEC) is an open cup, which means, it is held on European ground but also welcoming players to compete who live outside of Europe.

We compete on the European standard, which means, we play the PAL (and not the NTSC) version of Tetris for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The championship is held in the Tetris Capital of Europe, Copenhagen (Denmark) and our location is as close to the central station as possible. 500 meters or so!

More informations on the competetions, timeschedules, systems which we will compete in, tickets, rules, and more, soon to come!

The Classic tetris European Championships are held in collaboration with Retroexpo.

2018 is the first year of Retro Expo, and is in fact, the first Retrogame fair of it’s kind, in Denmark.

Part of the money raised from the Retrogaming expo goes to building of the “Gaming History Museum”, which will become a permanent museum in Copenhagen.

Now that we are in the process of planning, we are looking for volunteers, collaborators and many others who will help create game culture and game history.

There will be arcade sections, gaming stations, flea market, Classic Tetris European Championship. and lecturers. Several activities will be announced soon.
