geeky Ok, only one person replied to my message about the Tetris I bought and 2 people at work who I showed the pic to didn't understand the significance. Here's the story as told by gamespot.com:
In 1988, Tengen released a great version of Tetris for the Nintendo Entertainment System, but it was shortly pulled from the shelves when Nintendo sued the company for breach of copyright. Nintendo replaced that version of Tetris with its own, which actually lacked the Tengen version's two-player mode, as well as its excellent music. In '89, Nintendo went on to bundle in a portable version of Tetris with its then-new Game Boy system, which went on to become the best-selling game system of all time, thanks in no small part to Tetris.
The game shipped in May and was pulled from shelves and destroyed in June due to a cease and desist order from the courts.
In other words,

SO... have you looked into how much it is worth now? I mean if it is "TEH RARE1111!!!11!!!11!!" It's got to be worth more then the 8 bucks you paid for it.

It's also superior to the Nintendo version because it had the original music and a 2 player mode.
