I never was a fan of Tetris until I played it on the NES just recently. it was OK for a few minutes. But now I'm actually having fun with it. I just wish I could find Tengen Tetris, since it's such a superior game.


I've never personally played the Tengen Tetris, but from what I understand the game isn't any better. Maybe a little more rare, but that's about it. I'll have to get my hands on that one to see for myself, though.

You can play Tengen Tetris 2 player or against the computer so theres a couple more options.

two player alone makes the game twice as good in my opinion.

I didn't even realize the Nintendo version wasn't two player. I'll have to look into this Tengen version for sure. It's a goal to have all games anyway! :D

Yes, a 2 player option is great.
But one bad thing is that you have to play on a split screen even when you are playing alone.

yeah, I did notice that, but I didn't find it to be that big of a deal...it's just tetris, the screen is likely the same size as Nintendo's anyway, just with less crap all over the place.

Well, there is now a list of games, only 8 of them were cool, I think Ultima 1-3 complete is the coolest part of the deal though, $2 each for them is a deal, and I think scoring three completes makes it worth paying $2 for the rest of them :)

Ultima 1
Ultima 2
Ultima 3
Pool of Radiance
Legacy of The Wizard
Bard's Tale
Dungeon Magic
Kings Quest (the guy wrote 7, but as far as I know there was only 5 on the NES)

Ultima 1-3 ?
That was a very good deal if you ask me. :)

The other games also don't seem bad.

yeah, the others are nothing special, but they'll add to the collection, and I do enjoy older RPGs.

So I bought 5 games for $10. I've got King's Quest V, Ultima: Exodus, Ultima: Warriors of Destiny, Ultima: Quest for the Avatar and Pool of Radiance. The first 4 are all in boxes, but don't have the manuals. Still, it's a pretty good haul, I think.

Yes, that's definately worth it! I'm having trouble finding Quest of the Avatar, and it saddens me. :cry: To me, that was one of the better RPGs that was released on the NES. I would've paid $20 for that game alone!

and with some luck, I'll be picking those up at the end of the month :) I'll have to spend some time with the Ultima series, I haven't played them much at all, they seem very great though, and from what I have played I enjoyed. I very much like the battle music from Exodus (at least the battle music I've heard, there may be other songs) I've been listening to the NSF of it for a few days now.

The Ultima series isn't a legend for nothing. :)
Very great games, but very hard to find in Germany.
