Beg your Mom for some quarters, jump on your bike, ride down to that dark, smokey, noisy and slightly dangerous home for one of your video games– the Arcade!

This is “Analog Agent Benjamin” coming at you this week with…. The Tengen NES Games

Do you remember getting a Tengen NES game as a kid and noticing how different they looked from other NES games, or how most of the games were made by Sega for a Nintendo game system? Or how about the fact that the Tengen version of Tetris looked much different than the Nintendo version?

Tengen’s Tetris

So, what version of Tetris did you have? What Tengan games did you have or wanted as a kid?

    I had the Nintendo version, even though I preferred the Tengen one, since that’s what I’d played first (in an arcade).

    Tengen was a REBEL! (the games, not so much, excluding Pac-Man as they simply took Namco’s Famicom rom anyway)

    The one Tengen game I recall renting from the store a lot was Pac-Mania.
