At least, we shouldn't require them. There are waaaay to many versions on obscure Japanese home computer platforms to warrant that.

:yeah, this is a touch decision. official, i guess, would mean the same thing as authentic, but how do you destinguish unrelated games? for that, you'd need to define tetris specifically. is tetris a falling tetromino game? if so, anything other could be unrelated. maybe do something like this,
#official (all published games with "ris" in its title, which would take care of believed legitimate games)
#unofficial (which would indicate unpublished unlicensed fan games)

Revision as of 03:42, 16 March 2006

This list is going to be huge, so we should build it carefully. I suggest 3 general categories:

1. Official Tetris Games
2. Official Unrelated Games (games that use "Tetris" or "-tris")
3. Unoffical, Though Significant Fan Games (tetrinet etc.)

To clarify, I think Official Games should include even games that are technically unlicensed, but were believed to be legitimate by the developers. eg. Tengen Tetris & Megadrive Tetris

Also, should we drop acronyms? eg. GB -> GameBoy

At least, we shouldn't require them. There are waaaay to many versions on obscure Japanese home computer platforms to warrant that.

  2. unofficial (which would indicate unpublished unlicensed fan games)
