Inky Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 And Cubis! Forgot about that one. Then there's Acid Drop, which is like Columns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonicgo Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 where is the tetris26 rom at? and cubis, I've never heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 And Cubis! Forgot about that one. Then there's Acid Drop, which is like Columns... There is also Klax which exists in PAL format and NTSC format as a prototype. That's Tetris/like as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 and cubis, I've never heard of. This is a finished but never officially released homebrewby Eckhard Stolberg. You may have to search a bit to find it. Make sure you get the 6k or 8k version which has a lot of options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Cubis: http://www.homebrewgames.net/thedig/index....ttachment_id=32 Doesn't work for me (17 bytes). Here are all three versions that I have. cubis.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 BTW, Cubis should probably be added to the game database here at AtariAge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Where can I get the EdTris, and Tetris26 roms from? Can anybody pm me the roms? Or does anybody know where they are at least? I'd like to play them, just out of curisoty, but neither are available on AA's list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Thomas, are you sure Ed doesn't object to the ROM image being circulated this way? Last Russ checked, he was pretty protective of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are all three versions that I have. The file either isn't there or it's corrupted over at Biglist. I think I'm going to have to make a one-time pass through all attachments to cache them locally at TheDig to provide a backup mechanism just in case. I wonder if any other attachments have this problem currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Russ checked, he was pretty protective of it. Oops, I didn't know that. The ROMs are circulating in the web already. Anyway, I'll delete them from the ZIP.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The file either isn't there or it's corrupted over at Biglist. I think it's a Biglist problem. I tried to download Eckhard's Cubis and it had the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The file either isn't there or it's corrupted over at Biglist. I think it's a Biglist problem. I tried to download Eckhard's Cubis and it had the same size. Eckhard removed Cubis from public distribution for fear of The Tetris Company coming down on him for it. TTC has made some indication that they're going after Tetris clones, but I'm not sure how much they actually have. As far as Edtris goes, I think it's just that Ed made the game as a cart and wants it to stay that way. I think he basically just doesn't want to lose control of his intellectual property.

Musevox Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 EDIT: Removed Edtris ROMs Damn! I waited too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Damn! I waited too long! That just means that you have to search the web a bit more. The ROMS are out there, just not directly available right here (or from me!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 BTW, since it's been almost a decade now since EdTris came out, maybe Ed wouldn't mind it being freely circulated. Maybe we should try contacting him and see what he thinks? Maybe Atari Age can offer a 10 year anniversary edition of EdTris, and after a while of offering that, then put the ROM image in the database.

djmips Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I can understand somebody wishing to not circulate their work freely but on the other hand when you create a complete clone of someone else's work (Alexy Pajitnov), it is a little shady to claim it as intellectual property. Of course, it's only hearsay that Ed wants control for this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTemplar Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Has there ever been a tetris-game made for the atari 2600? Yep. The tetris coin-up machines. I have the service manual for that machine....(but not the machine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
