    This is a fun game. I can't say I get all the comparisons with Tetris. By that rationale every puzzle game out there is a Tetris game clone. #timewaster

    I've been playing Tetris Friends online a lot. It's a solid online Tetris experience and I love the multiplayer components. #timewaster

    The game having instructions would of been nice.
    I eventually figured it out, but the game is kinda lame tbh.
    Your pretty much tied to your chance of winning depending on the colour n direction of the blocks, and even if you stack 4, you do it the wrong way it adds it as a kill block thing. which kinda sucks.
    So cool he's trying some skew on the old Tetris formula but he's no Pajitnov, and lame game is lame. #timewaster

    @deanbmmv: There are instructions if you look up and see the "How to Play" button.

    And what kill blocks are referring to? The rainbow blocks, or the black ones with skulls? Cause the black ones you only get if you miss the board, and the rainbow are nothing but beneficial. #timewaster

    @Proximity: Ah, I see the how to play now. When the page loads it loads the game up, so the how to play gets crammed off the top of the screen.
    And yeah, I mean the skull ones. It's a bit annoying that they get randomly placed on the board.
    And your first block is pre-determined, cos theres only one place you can put it.
    Its a good idea, but needs a fair bit of playability tweaking before its a workable game. #timewaster

    @deanbmmv: I don't think you've given the instructions a proper read. Those skull blocks aren't randomly placed.

    You fail to connect a block and you get penalized with a skull block. The block always falls from the direction of the block you failed to connect. It's quite simple, actually. #timewaster

    I got 47, but I don't think Game & Watch belongs there. That's not a system AND it's a single game unit. Goes against his rules.

    44 for me. Surprised that I forgot the Gamecube, but then, Nintendo did so...


    Also, does the Master System II really count as a different system? I guess it didn't have the card slot but...

    Wonderswan was never released outside of Japan. Good for imports though.

    I managed to get 46 without help.


    But some of these seem to go against its own rules. Master System II? Really? If that was counted, then why not the NES Model 2, the Super NES Model 2, the PSone, the PStwo, etc?

    Xavix, the Atari FlashBacks, and HyperScan? Are you kidding me?!


    According to Wikipedia, the Amiga CD32 wasn't released in America (only the UK and Canada).


    Never even ehard of Supervsion... But I guess it was sold in America (seeing it was used as prizes on Legends of the Hidden Temple and Price is Right)...


    Mega Duck/Cougar Boy... talk about obscure!


    I think something more notable than these oddities is the Pokémon mini... It was a cartridge based system that Nintendo sold exclusively through its Pokémon Center stores (the US one is now part of the Nintendo World Store).

    I would have gotten them all, but I couldn't spell Colleco and the like right, and I called Mega Duck Couger Boy for some odd reason.

    i got 39.. should have gotten lynx, turbo express, and i know i typed in neo geo cd.. but it didnt register. but what i dont get is why master system II and intellivision II are counted as systems.. when they left off 32x, the atari xe system, and all the other sequel consoles weve had over the years. a little flawed but still cool. i completely forgot about the channel f..
