https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytr8Cz9UnPg 1998 NOV TGM1 GM 10:07<br>
"The Gamest Grand Prize for the best game of the year, as voted by Gamest readers, was awarded to the thrilling brain-puzzle block game 'Tetris'! Its extremely simple graphics and content concealed a depth and addictiveness that captivated the entire archipelago [of Japan]. For players, it became a game they simply could not put down, and it is this charm that earned it the prestigious title of Best Game of the Year."

"The Gamest Grand Prize for the best game of the year, as voted by Gamest readers, was awarded to the thrilling brain-puzzle block game 'Tetris'! Its extremely simple graphics and content concealed a depth and addictiveness that captivated the entire archipelago [of Japan]. For players, it became a game they simply could not put down, and it is this charm that earned it the prestigious title of Best Game of the Year." https://web.archive.org/web/20090913125927/http://am-show.sega.jp/jamma09/t_tgm.shtml 2009 TGM4 demo info page
