@JohnRiggs, and yet, despite that lawsuit, did you know that the FDS (Famicom) also had its own form of Tetris as well, but this time, Bullet Proof Software (now known as Blue Planet Software) did the publishing, as well as development, for that game? Now that is confusing, is it not? Well, from what I can gather, despite the Tengen version of Tetris being rare, the Famicom version of Tetris is even harder to find than that game. Moreover, Nintendo, from what I heard, actually had the Tengen version of Tetris on the Virtual Console, as well as the NES, SNES, and Game Boy versions of Tetris, and yet the Famicom version of Tetris was a no show. Continuing on the topic of Tetris, you know that Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt not only were separate games, but that they were also bundled in a two game cartridge, as well as separate three game cartridges for both the NTSB-U and all PAL region games, am I right? Well, you know that the three game cartridge that was released for the NTSB-U market had Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, and World Class Track Meet, but in PAL regions, the three game cartridge that they received contained Super Mario Brothers, the NTSB-U version of Tetris, and Nintendo World Cup (which was itself a reskinned Kunio-Kun sports title). Weirdly enough, this was the only way for PAL regions to get Nintendo World Cup or the NTSB-U version of Tetris. Finally, for even more confusion, the Game Boy, NES, SNES, and FDS all had different versions of Tetris 2. The Famicom version of Tetris 2 was completely different in its game play mechanics than any other version of Tetris, plus it also had an additional game mode/game that was called Bombliss, which would also appear on the PC and NSFC (Super Famicom) series that is called Super Tetris. Interestingly enough, though the SNES double game cart of Tetris and Dr. Mario never appeared, as far as I know, outside of NTSB-U markets, the SNES version of Tetris 2 was released on the NSFC as Tetris Flash.

Yes, Ms. Pac-man is a total S. Lumping it in with regular Pac-Man does it a terrible injustice, as the conversion is completely different. I played the two player mode of Ms. Pac-Man a lot as a kid, and I still enjoy playing this on insane difficulty once in a while.

Thank you for posting another super fun video, JohnRiggs! I am seriously stoked whenever you post a new one and I know that others feel the same way so please keep them coming! This was a nice surprise too because I honestly forgot just how many games that Tengen released for the NES. In any case, Tengen Tetris must be an incredibly rare game because to this day, I have never seen it in person...ONCE! It sounds like it is way better than the Nintendo version too which is a real shame. Anyway, I actually loved playing Pac-Mania and Toobin' growing up (Toobin' was a game I didn't expect to be very fun and it surprised me.) and you've got me wanting to try the arcade version (of Toobin') one of these days. And lastly, you cracked me up when you started talking about Skull & Crossbones. I've never played it and I was wondering where you were going when you said it was obscure and unknown. Then...you said it's a terrible game. Good stuff! Thanks again for posting videos like these. They are fun to watch!

Tengen Gauntlet on NES is very cool. The reason why the enemies move so choppy is because they're not sprites. They're tiles. That also explains how Tengen was able to get so many characters on screen. Once I knew this, I had to have it. I had such a higher appreciation. So neat how Tengen overcame shortcomings here.

By 1985, the NES was very far behind what arcade machines could do; and even in 1983, it could not directly 1:1 port arcade games from 1981-83. You could come close.... Case in point, Donkey Kong. The NES was specifically designed to run DK, and while the NES/FC Donkey Kong from 1983 was the best home version available, even that was not arcade-prefect.

Tengen games were licensed, just not through Nintendo. Tengen did what they did because Nintendo wasn't producing enough copies of their games to meet demand - on purpose, in order to keep prices up. Nintendo was even not allowing retailers to have reduced price sales on the NES. That's where the Official Nintendo Seal came from.

MeanMrMustard1 sadly there isn’t 😞 but plenty of RBI baseball videos with music and the “dink” sound to get me through lol

Tetris by Tengen is very popular in Russia, we like the version more than the Nintendo version or the Japanese version!

The NES version was far more popular but the Tengen one is best. the Famicom one from bulletproof software is interesting as the buttons are swapped. You use the D-pad to rotate and button to drop.

The Ms. Pac-Man you reviewed was the NAMCO version. The Tengen version is much different, with many different maze designs, co-op play, and screen scrolling.

It was weird that they had blood and content that NIN-TEN-CONTROL at the time wouldn’t allow? Unlicensed is probably why, Tengen was legendary

Holy shit! Toobin! It does exist! For the longest time i had this vague memory of a game where you went down a river in an inner tube, but could not remember the name of it for the life of me

It plays alright on nes, but the arcade controls are so necessary for a tank game to feel immersion. there is no way to turn the turret on the tank on the nes version, correct?

I think I have that version of Gauntlet.... As for Tetris, I have the NES version that was ported to the SNES along with Dr. Mario. I'm adding the Tengen NES version to my wishlist now.

Obviously subjective, but Gauntlet was some of the best fun you could have with friends on the NES. My friend, Jeff and I actually beat it.

Had them all except 3 or 4. RBI Baseball was the best out of all. One of the Baseball card shops near me growing up had the arcade game. I could practice at home and then go play and win prizes there.
