LilSwampAss Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Not knowledgeable on "different versions of Tetris" but it seems a lot of these were Japanese exclusive? That or I've just never heard of them, but either way that makes this really desirable even if it's essentially multiple versions of one game (kind of, I know they each have their own unique traits).

DavidD Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 While I'm sure I can guess why it's missing -- it's a little weird to put this out without the Game Boy Tetris. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/373715-tetris-forever-gameplay-and-title-line-up/#findComment-5548235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 (edited) Looks like various editions by Bullet Proof Software, that's Henk Rogers company in Japan back in the 1980s and 90s. I also see the original Soviet version on their PDP-11 clone, not sure if it's emulated or a recreation. What's missing in the video is the first Soviet conversion to the IBM PC. Also missing are any of the first western countries versions by Mirrorsoft or Spectrum Holobyte. Is there a "title lineup" somewhere?

I believe the gameplay of the versions with respective titles in the video, makes up the full title-line up. These Tetris-games are the ones to be included (I think. Thats my impression).

One of the things I really enjoy about the more advanced Retro Compilations are inclusions of either completely new games or novel remakes of classics. I suspect that won’t happen with Bubsy, - so I’ll be fine if they just put in game-fix modes -, but new games and new remakes is a gold-standard. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/373715-tetris-forever-gameplay-and-title-line-up/#findComment-5548475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I guess the third clip with the amber display is also the Spectrum Holobyte Apple II version. Atari SA might own these Spectrum Holobyte properties through the Ingfogrames acquisition of Hasbro Interactive. The original Soviet IBM PC version that leaked out to Europe was written by a colleague of Patjinov. You can download the game and read about the developer's story and probably why its not included here. https://vadim.oversigma.com/Tetris.htm Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/373715-tetris-forever-gameplay-and-title-line-up/#findComment-5548501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

boog Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Tetris Battle Gaiden is an awesome multiplayer variation!! The Digital Eclipse site has a summary page noting that it includes a full history like their other Gold Master Series releases... including 90 minutes of documentary footage. Cool! Hopefully it'll at least acknowledge the arcade version, atari/tengen drama, and gameboy version even if they couldn't get the rights for any of them... https://www.digitaleclipse.com/games/tetrisforever 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/373715-tetris-forever-gameplay-and-title-line-up/#findComment-5548587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_1970 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) A real shame the Atari arcade release isn’t in there - maybe that’s with Atari Games and owned by Warner Interactive?

GraffitiTavern Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) Looking forward to this release, and Tetris Time Warp looks fun. Only criticism is the game selection seems quite limited, which makes sense given licensing, but I would love a modern Tetris version on the collection as well. I hope for an update they have even a basic modern Tetris and a version of Tetris Gems from the website. A jukebox mode would also be great, some of the Tetris music is pretty fun and I love VG music. Beyond the fact that I'm more used to the modern version from Puyo Puyo Tetris, it would give an opportunity to talk about the game design for the modern mechanics that people may play now. I *think* the former BPS would still have the rights to The Next Tetris and Tetris Zone...

digdugnate Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I'm looking forward to trying out the Time Warp feature, too. I love Tetris and am pretty excited for the collection. It's been mentioned a tiny bit, but if you guys like Tetris and haven't played on a modern console, I think the two Puyo Puyo Tetris games, Tetris Effect, and Tetris 99 (Switch-only) are pretty much best of breed. You can play the arcade ones (Grand Master 1 and 2? All of a sudden I forget) through Hamster's Arcade Archives series as well. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/373715-tetris-forever-gameplay-and-title-line-up/#findComment-5554102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
