    Default Most re-released game?

    I'm speaking of direct ports here (or direct ports with graphical upgrades and no other fundamental changes). The game can be included in a collection or whatever, so long as the entire original game is included. I'm not speaking of multi-system releases ie. Mortal Kombat II which was released at the same time on several systems. What single game has been re-released the most? Just a bit of trivia I was curious about.

    I know Super Mario Bros. is way up there:

    SMB - NES
    SMB All-Stars - SNES
    SMB DX? - Game Boy Color
    SMB - GBA
    SMB - Famicom Mini
    SMB - Animal Crossing

    and I'm sure a few more that are slipping my mind. I can't think of any others aside from Pac-Man, but I'm sure everyone else can.

    I would guess Pong.
    Curiosity killed the cat.... Satisfaction brought him back.

    My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

    Tetris maybe? That's gotta be the most cloned game at least if not the most ported.

    How about Space Invaders? Not only was it re-released a bazillion times for the 2600 with different labels, I'm sure almost every system has a variations of it.

    Get real guys, it's Space Invaders or Tetris. SMB? Not even close... is there a system out there that doesn't have Tetris?

    Yes he is saying direct ports, not variations. Are any two tetris titles direct ports of eachother? I think Tetris worlds is the only title that was released on multiple platforms without much if any variation.

    Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move has to rank up there as one of the most re-released games.

    Not even close... is there a system out there that doesn't have Tetris?
    Sega Game Gear = No Tetris 4 U!
    Sega Genesis = No Tetris 4 U!

    OMG, has to be Pac-Man or MS. Pac-Man. There have been like a gabillion Pac-Man games. Too many to list. Has to blow away number of SMB and Bubble Bobble ect. I agree that Tetris has a fair amount, but still thing Pac-Man blows that away as well.
