What version of Tetris does Gametap have? It says 8 bit?

Is it for the Atari computers, msx, it surely can't be the NES, can it? I also heard that Castlevania 1,2 and 3 are coming out on Gametap on October 26. Hmm makes me thinking.

It's likely the arcade version. I haven't played it yet, though.

There is a new section on Gametap called 8 bit. 8bit atari computer, MSX? Could it be 3rd party NES games in that section. Because it looks and sounds like the 8 bit Tengen/Atari Tetris for the NES.

 

Plus a Gametap rep says that they will have Castlevania 1,2 and 3 on October 26.

 

Maybe they can have NES games but they have to get rid of all the Nintendo copyrighted stuff on the game screens.

Well, they were never Nintendo's games to start with. So it makes a lot of sense that merely removing Nintendo's licensing line would be all that was needed..

The screenshot on the site is for the Japanese Famicom Tetris from Bullet Proof Software. I didn't care much for what I tried of it via NES emulator. The control is very odd. Down rotates and the a button drops. It does share music with the Tengen version, but it plays more like the PC version with the instant drop.
