Tengen, an Atari label, released an unlicensed version of Tetris for the Nintendo Entertainment System. After they lost a lawsuit to Nintendo, which acquired the rights from Russia to port the game to home consoles (they already had the handheld consoles rights), Tengen had to destroy every spare cartridge unsold at the time. The Tengen game featured a two-player simultaneous mode not available in Nintendo's version

★5.0/ 5
The game that made swear off games for years. I was playing the game at 3am knowing that I had a crew call at 5 am. The sad thing is there is no end, it just keeps getting faster. Very addictive.
