To this day, this is my favorite form of Tetris ever made. Once again, though, this was Atari Games, not Atari. Atari split into two companies in 1984, and almost all the Atari related arcade games made from that point were made by Atari Games. Tengen was Atari Games in the home console market. Part of the agreement of the split was that Atari Games would only use the name Atari in the arcade, so they used the name Tengen for home video games since they couldn't use the Atari name.
I need to get my Tetris arcade cocktail table fixed. I won it at E3 2006 but for some reason the monitor comes on but the PCB board doesn't seem to work.
I only saw this game once in the wild, and the controls on the machine were busted. This game is one of the few I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty about emulating rather than having an actual board.
i just watched tetris documentary and will compliment you on your historic memory, you've paid attention to your stuff ... if you want to check it out watch?v=kAEbY4FzEco
i love tetris to the point of yelling as well

The NES Tengen version is fairly close to this. So much better then Nintendo's. I was wondering where the dancers were at for awhile.

Hey John, great video, keep them coming!
I always found it difficult playing a game that uses a four-way with an 8-way joystick.

Check your voltages. Your power supply could be bad. Easy fix if it is.
Imagine playing this back in 1988 o.O
I'm here because @overtimearcade linked to it. I love the Owl hoot intro.
Cool, I'll check it out. I just watched the new documentary, Ectasy of Order. I wasn't aware of the one you linked to.
Good question, since he uses all original tube tech. None of these 5 cents an hour LCD's for John's arcade.
I just found out last night that my Tetris arcade cocktail will not power up anymore. I hope to get it fixed soon though.
That game is fiendisly addictive!!!
John could you do a Q & A sometime ?
i have a coupla questions for ya.
: )
Another Great Video
John, just an FYI, did you check out the trailer for the new Tetris movie, on Apple TV?
Yeah, it's a little weird but it's the two games that make sense to me. Tetris for the ladies and SF for the guys. :D

That is a great addition to your game room there. But it is kind of weird that the other game is Street Fighter with it.
john your arcade rocks!!!!
John's excitement gives me a headache.
HEY GUYS
If you take too long, the little guy will come out and tap his foot.
i love this arcade game i have it on my 6000+ mame machine !
Oh wow I didn't even know that a Atarai tetris arcade machine even existed
What in the world is your electric bill like?
Arcade Atari Tetяis is the best one! Gonna put it on my Super Retro-Cade
got this on MAME.... never understand bonus... sometimes a man appears and dance ?
do i have to press a button to get bonus point ?
Amazing game, I wonder who holds the world record for this game? Does anybody know?
You should convert this to a Klax, I heard that game uses the same hardware as this (except for the FM sound chip).
Have you seen or played a Sente Mini Golf arcade machine? I have once.
i give this two thumb rings up.
Tetrominos John, not BRICKS hahaha
hahaha
fuckyou
@@ppriidsdid you feel better after replying with that 2 years ago...?
Cool. An expensive way to play Tetris! Shame the Nintendo version has better music.
I like klax
dude do you realize that most of the words on the screen are backwards
What? Words aren’t backwards.
literally only the letter "R" is, and that's deliberate.

Thanks
I'm probably the only person who hated/hates Tetris
Jason Espo yes
I didn’t hate it but it pissed me off a lot lol
How can you own a tetris Arcade machine and suck this much at it?
