The drama surrounding Tetris is one of the most storied sagas in the history of the NES. When Tengen released its first unofficial games, overriding Nintendo's infamous lockout device, Nintendo quickly sued. Ignoring Nintendo's claim to the Tetris name in the US a year later, Tengen released its own version but it was pulled from shelves almost immediately when it was revealed that Nintendo's hold on the Tetris name stateside was legitimate. Almost everyone agrees that Tengen's version of the game was far superior to Nintendo's, even including a two-player mode which Nintendo's version sorely lacked. Today, the game known as Tengen Tetris is a rare title to have in your collection, but it's a worthwhile play.
