Yes, I saw. To address some points in the review:

-Standard version differences include having has a red end label with white text and is dubbed version 1.001. The code is SIV-MP-GBL too.
-The title screen cycles through 12 color sets! Hehe
-For stacking above the top row, that is intentional. There are actually two invisible "rows" up there since that is the highest you can stack things. If something is ever in those two rows and not making a 3 of a kind, then game over will occur.
-I am wondering if you're talking about the background being temporarily overwritten by a tile if you stack above the top row. I just left that so a player could see that tile either being captured or being the cause of game over. It's not even visible at all on NTSC screens, but I was well aware of this since the beginning.

Regarding the video: Why oh WHY didn't you ever rotate the blocks? Tongue

Just dropped in to say to Sivak and everyone else who can write this stuff that I have a crazy amount of respect for you.

Tried doing the machine code once; complete gibberish to me. Like NESaholic said, keep doing what you're good at. It's a rare talent.

Remember when games were originally being developed in the 80's and 90's -- they had whole coding teams

Now here individual people are in 2008 building whole games by hand!

Quite astonishing, if I can say so. Go as far as your talents will take you, dude. Cheesy
