i love tetris to the point of yelling as well

To this day, this is my favorite form of Tetris ever made. Once again, though, this was Atari Games, not Atari. Atari split into two companies in 1984, and almost all the Atari related arcade games made from that point were made by Atari Games. Tengen was Atari Games in the home console market. Part of the agreement of the split was that Atari Games would only use the name Atari in the arcade, so they used the name Tengen for home video games since they couldn't use the Atari name.

The NES Tengen version is fairly close to this. So much better then Nintendo's. I was wondering where the dancers were at for awhile.

Hey John, great video, keep them coming!

Clarissa D'Avena's Arcade by Crioma S.r.l. in 1996

I always found it difficult playing a game that uses a four-way with an 8-way joystick.

John's excitement gives me a headache.

I need to get my Tetris arcade cocktail table fixed. I won it at E3 2006 but for some reason the monitor comes on but the PCB board doesn't seem to work.

I'm here because @overtimearcade linked to it. I love the Owl hoot intro.

Imagine playing this back in 1988 o.O

Good question, since he uses all original tube tech. None of these 5 cents an hour LCD's for John's arcade.

Another Great Video

John, just an FYI, did you check out the trailer for the new Tetris movie, on Apple TV?

john your arcade rocks!!!!

That game is fiendisly addictive!!! John could you do a Q & A sometime ? i have a coupla questions for ya. : )

Cool, I'll check it out. I just watched the new documentary, Ectasy of Order. I wasn't aware of the one you linked to.

I just found out last night that my Tetris arcade cocktail will not power up anymore. I hope to get it fixed soon though.

That is a great addition to your game room there. But it is kind of weird that the other game is Street Fighter with it.

i love this arcade game i have it on my 6000+ mame machine !

I only saw this game once in the wild, and the controls on the machine were busted. This game is one of the few I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty about emulating rather than having an actual board.

Arcade Atari Tetяis is the best one! Gonna put it on my Super Retro-Cade

What in the world is your electric bill like?

Yeah, it's a little weird but it's the two games that make sense to me. Tetris for the ladies and SF for the guys. :D

You should convert this to a Klax, I heard that game uses the same hardware as this (except for the FM sound chip).

Oh wow I didn't even know that a Atarai tetris arcade machine even existed

Amazing game, I wonder who holds the world record for this game? Does anybody know?

If you take too long, the little guy will come out and tap his foot.

got this on MAME.... never understand bonus... sometimes a man appears and dance ? do i have to press a button to get bonus point ?

i give this two thumb rings up.

Have you seen or played a Sente Mini Golf arcade machine? I have once.

Tetrominos John, not BRICKS hahaha

Cool. An expensive way to play Tetris! Shame the Nintendo version has better music.

I like klax

dude do you realize that most of the words on the screen are backwards

:)

i just watched tetris documentary and will compliment you on your historic memory, you've paid attention to your stuff ... if you want to check it out watch?v=kAEbY4FzEco

SUB'D

I'm probably the only person who hated/hates Tetris

How can you own a tetris Arcade machine and suck this much at it?
