- Tengen's version of Tetris is MUCH better than the Nintendo version. It
- has backgrounds, better 2 player mode, and a few other whistles. I've only
- heard this, I haven't played it firsthand (unfortunately).
-
- Nintendo actually had the nerve to take Tengen to court in order to get the
- game removed from shelves, since Tengen hadn't obtained permission from
- ELORG (The Russian videogaming organization). Sigh. Sometimes I want to
- poke Nintendo in the eye.. *boop*
-
- As for where you could find it? <giggle> Maybe someone who bought it
- before it went off-market is willing to sell it? For a dear price of
- course. It is definitely a collector's item.
