@pathunstrom @cmconseils we've been meaning to make a short video of us flipping through our copy, but since we don't use a smartphone we also don't have an easy way to do that
@pathunstrom @cmconseils @ireneista ah, that's so smart that you don't use a smartphone

@jawnsy @pathunstrom @cmconseils well it's just the privacy implications bother us, really

@cmconseils I couldn't even tell if you were wrong, this one is tough to verify or falsify because there were like, 5 different "original" versions of Tetris.
Did they mean the PC version? Between NA and EU there were two different distributors who each made their own version, not counting the original Russian freeware version.
The "original" Nintendo version? There are three of those. One Nintendo made for the NES console, one for the GameBoy, and an unlicensed NES version made by Atari that had to be recalled over a rights dispute.
Did *any one* of those releases have a manual that gave names to the blocks? I don't know! Maybe?! 😂
@ceremus I played it on a Sunday Sparc workstation so even more variants. @cmconseils

Okay, now I'm actually a bit proud of myself for quickly questioning the validity and then zooming in to see that it's definitely a manipulated image. It did make me laugh a bit, though. -
@ireneista @cmconseils who knows who to believe any more, the person on the Internet who has a page scan from the manual, or another person with a competing page scan. Wasn't the original game Russian in any case?
@ghouston @ireneista @cmconseils This is an ancient meme, not an actual scan of the manual. The tetrominoes do not have names in either English or Russian.

@PavelASamsonov @ireneista @cmconseils Tetrominoes! Who needs names when you have a term like that.

@ghouston @PavelASamsonov @cmconseils okay, now this is one we have personal feelings about. back in our day they were called "tetrads"! :D

@ghouston @PavelASamsonov @cmconseils (though to be fair, both names have been around a while)

@cmconseils the straight block being called hero makes so much sense.

@cmconseils @fsvo Presumably those are the names the American translator came up with to replace the Japanese names, as with Super Mario Brothers

@cmconseils Sadly, this one is not true. Part of it is, but the names are not... https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/do-tetris-blocks-really-have-names/

I definitely get "Hero". 😆
#Tetris -
@cmconseils for the record, this is untrue. we're a collector and have a paper copy of that manual. they do not have names.
it's funny though :)
@ireneista @cmconseils
Could it be from the prototype? 🤔 -
Sorry if all my memes are not 100% accurate
i do what I can, man.@cmconseils I laughed. I thought it was a good gag, and we need more of those.
