I'm pretty sure the article links to the wrong version, though. [1] is a more official one, I think - there's several Spectrum Tetris games all just called Tetris, confusingly enough, but this was the main one which got a full price release and reviews in all the significant mags. Of course, as has been noted, "official" is a phenomenally dodgy beast when it comes to Tetris licensing and games - Mirrorsoft, who made this one, certainly tried to get the license for the home 8-bits, but I couldn't say whether or not they got it...
