I have never even heard of that site :-/ Does the guy still make them or no? $20 bucks is pretty cheap for a repro.

He says he doesn't have time to do them anymore. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to ask.

yea, i would still like to make games and sell them, but i am swamped at work and i am getting married soon and it has consumed all of my free time. it really sucks. i sold these for a while just to pay back how much i put into the supplies and equipment to make repros (costs about 200-300 bucks to start out).

I've got two licensed Tengen versions. Both are pretty interesting.

Happen to have any pics, would be interesting to see.

Are they prototypes or something? I remember someone who had one, & it seemed Nintendo was going to rip off Tengen's Tetris for their own. ;D

Then again, it seemed like Tengen was going to get it licensed or something - one of those two.

NEsAholic: I posted pics on a thread on Digital Press about 6 months ago or more....more pics from a few years ago are floating around on the web somewhere.

Jedi: AFAIK the only two prototypes that exist of the licensed Tengen version are in my hands. One is similar to the Tengen one from the Playchoice Arcade, the other has a different title screen, sounds, and colors of blocks...

Someone posted something about this - but I can't find the site anywhere. I don't know, maybe I was dreaming or hallucinating. But from what I remember, it was a bit inferior to Tengen's final release.
