I guess you're either Nintendo or Sega.  I was always Sega, right back to the Master system.

I did spend a lot of time playing Tetris on my Gameboy.  That's about six months of my life I'll never get back  :-/

NES:

Mega Man
Mega Man II
Mega Man III
Duck Tales I
Duck Tales II
Metroid
Castlevania

The music from the above games is totally AWES.

SNES:

Donkey Kong 2
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (I am so serious about this game. I can't stress that enough.)

Sega:

Altered Beast
Golden Axe (HOW BADASS WAS THIS GAME. PRESS THE SECRET WEAPON BUTTON AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE)
Moonwalker (yes, the Michael Jackson game. There was a level where you were actually in the Smooth Criminal video, kicking dudes on pool tables)

(http://2simple.cn/img/moon_walker.gif)

I will get into the Sega CD as well as the Jaguar system, but I'm kind of not sure if anyone else on the planet actually owned those systems.

I still know 99% of the lyrics to that entire album. Ask Meg, she'll confirm this.

I remember putting my pants on backwards, one day, just to see what it felt like for those two to walk around. It wasn't "cool"... I didn't feel "with it"... I think you might even need someone's help if you need to use the restroom.

I kind of wrote them off as morons, but at least I didn't knock it until I tried it.

Any takers for SEGA's Mutant Football League? I just about always opted for "Kill the Ref"

Also, I built up a serious frickin thumb playing LoZ: Majora's Mask on the N64 in middle school.

I think (at least in my case) the best way to do Tetris is to be watching something else while you're doing it. I watch TV while I'm playing (on my computer), and I sort of "get in the zone"--it's nice, because I'm not anxiously waiting on a piece to drop. That said, the other key to this one was just keeping the sucker low. Half of it is probably serendipity with the pieces, but if you can keep it under half-way down before it starts going really bat-shit crazy, then you can score an extra few levels' worth...
