But obviously, I highly doubt it's real. Can anyone help me on this -- verify.... something???

OBVIOUSLY a pirate. It has no mention of a developer, or a publisher, and the label does not go to the top.

Different label to the others I've seen though. Curious.

I think the fact that the label looks like it was made by a 4 year old gives it a way, he/she knows it's a pirate I'm sure, he/she just doesn't want to say that and have Ebay pull it.

Is there even a version of Tetris available on the Genesis? I've never heard of one at all...

Ok, let me rephrase that I guess. A U.S. version of Tetris.

Probably a liability issue and probably just easier and safer (legally) to have a zero tolerance policy.

eBay? Delete pirate game auctions? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, right!
Have you seen the amount of GBA pirates they sell daily? They'd lose way too much business if they stopped pirates!

That and the sale of console emulators for the PC.
Surprising to see how many collections of "hundreds of classic games that you can play on your PC" there are.

Nope. Got pulled before it hit the shelves in Japan (in a similar action to what happened to Tengen's version for the NES). A few slipped out anyhow. Pirated to high heaven as usual though.

Drummy = correct.
Whoever did the cover "art" for that cart must have spent maybe 3 minutes in paint.

this is the same version shown at genesis collective (http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=1166). is this a version/pirate/hack of the MD tetris, or something else altogether?
