Game Information
PlayTV Legends Family Tetris is a direct-to-TV unit developed by HiScore Entertainment Software Engineering and distributed by Radica Games in the fall of 2006. The game shipped with two gamepad-style controllers with four "AA" batteries, and connected directly to a standard television via the television's audio/video composite inputs.
The game also features:
- Multiplayer game modes - Play solo or with a friend via the second controller, game includes both co-op and competitive game variants.
- Tetris game modes - The game includes Race, Marathon, Dig, and Versus game modes, as well as Family mode which enables people of all ages and skill levels to play together.
