    Default Which Tengen Tetris is more rare?

    So, which one is it, the grey cart or the black one? Also, what are both worth complete?

    The black one is far more rare.

    Complete prices fluctuate rapidly between $20-$40.

    The Tengen Tetris was never released as a licensed NES game-only Gauntlet, RBI Baseball, and Pac-Man.

    I know that, but wasn't the first batch grey? I could be wrong, but for some reason I remember seeing some grey versions from Tengen (I'm not confusing this with the Nintendo version).

    That's it? That's nothing, I was expecting it to go for in the $100 range right now.

    There was only the one "batch", and it was all in Tengen's black cartridge design.

    Read the first reply in this thread (by boatofcar). I'm not the only one here who remembers the grey version. Unless he was thinking of the licensed Nintendo version...

    Given that I've never seen a gray version of Tengen Tetris even mentioned by anyone else before, you're either mistaken, or aware of what could be a major find.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    Jason takes Staten Island... the sequal i've been waiting for.

    Tengen Tetris?

    You guys need to get a life o something

    like said before "tengen" tetris was only released in BLACK CARTRIDGES!

    RBI baseball, Gauntlet and Pac-Man were the only ones to see a licensed and unlicensed released.

    no gray cartridge of "tengen" tetris exist

    but like it was stated above... the blue one is super rare. OMFFGLMAOAOMGMAMLGSMGLK

    sorry too many beers and "Manaic Cop" has put me in the state that i am currently in.

    have a nice night/early morning.... I know i am.

    When you say the gray one, do you mean Nintendo Tetris?

    If so, that one is worth a million billion dollars.

    OK guys, I guess I was mistaken with this one. Perhaps the original ads showed it as grey, and that's what I'm thinking of?

    I have a black Nintendo (not Tengen) Tetris.

    Oh, wait, that's Nintondo.

    Only black, the color of my heart. The grey one was an official, inferior release.

    Man, I just not noticed Tengen Tetris did a huge drop on ebay...why?
