Tetris + Arm Wrestling = Best Thing Ever!*

by June - 04.29.08

We Rebels are a tough gaming lot. This, none can deny. There are days where we live, breathe and feast on games, and we’d do it more if it weren’t for those meddling jobs! So, gentlemen, do your thumbs get a workout when you hit up the ol’ sofa? Ladies! How many walls can you knock down on a bad day? How about a good one?

Enter Tresling, Tetris and arm wrestling for the gaming hardcore. Block-fearing wimps need not apply.

Check out some live Tresling action after the jump.

Now that’s major league gaming. I don’t think I’m ready yet… this rookie’s going back to the couch!

Haha, that looks like fun. But I wish they could’ve spent the cheesy 30 seconds of intro demonstrating how they made Tetris + arm wrestling tie in to one another. It looks like you can sabotage your opponent’s Tetris by wrestling their arm over to switches that act like a (secondary?) controller? Neat idea.

I think that they may have made it out of an old radica Plug-n-play device

this version is played by pushing the block side to side, and down to drop (they most likely took the pressure pads out to make the arm motion)
and you twist it to turn the blocks (the other hand)
LUCKILY I HAVE ONE OF THESE DEVICES! I think I’m going to take it apart to try and make one of these tresling things.

…Now I want to try this.

Oh come on, they’re not arm wrestling! They’re just holding hands and playing Tetris!

I can do that at home but I wouldn’t want people to get the wrong idea.
