User Manual

Summary

Tetrominoes fall from above as the player slides and rotates them to complete rows. While the NES version is not the first version of the iconic puzzler, it is one of the two that helped launch the game into the stratosphere. "From Russia with fun" is a goofy tagline.

Acquisition

I got this copy from my in-laws tiny NES collection.

Memories

While I have countless memories with Tetris itself, I have none with this version. I'll save the memories for the relevant titles.
