Tetris for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

This was released in 1989. I'll never forget the cover art on the original cartridge.

You have two different options for GAME TYPE, including A-TYPE and B-TYPE. You're also offered to choose MUSIC TYPE, which is a different music soundtrack you can listen to while you play, including MUSIC - 1, MUSIC - 2, MUSIC - 3, and OFF.

A-TYPE is a standard Tetris game and you can have it start anywhere from level 0 to 9. I do not know how high the levels go, but the speed increase caps at level 29.. However, the max high score you can achieve is 999,999. B-TYPE offers the player to play any one level 0-9 as well as choose a "height" level 0-5, which adds debris on the board to clear, making it harder.

In B-TYPE, you max at the score you can get for that level and when the level is clear, you're done.

I notice there are separate score boards for A-TYPE and B-TYPE, with room for only three entries each.
