Ok this will be a hard one, because it is a Tetris game, and there are millions of'em. The worse thing is, I think this game is called Tetris :>
Anyway, the game in question was released around 1990ish, I never found it anywhere, I know for a fact it ain't on the net and prolly it ain't in anyone's colection (there is a slight chance that it is an argentinian game), so I'm mainly looking for information about it if anyone knows it (Publisher, release date, etc.).
I've been looking for it since 1993!!!!! And a thread on EAB has been running about this for 6 years.
Some data that will help you in your quest:

*The looks of the game we look for are exact or almost exact to those of Atari Tetris. Look at picture:

*The game is not part of a demo, it's a standalone game
*The scrolling down of the tetris blocks is smooth, like in SNES's Tetris Bombliss. The demopart posted by KnucklesD hops from position to position, just like the arcade game. The game we look for one-upped the arcade game in that respect.
*The music was more uptempo than the original arcade tetris music. It had no vocal samples, but it had a more " techy"/electronic feel to it. Think of the year 1992, 2Unlimited sort of cheesy thang.
*It was featured in an argentinian TV show dedicated mostly to the Amiga. Show in question was called "El Cerebro Magico"and it aired at Channel 2 from La Plata around 1990/92. They had compos for this game, and there's a slight chance this is an argentinian developed game (far fetched, but I'm beginning to think so!)
We're looking for any leads. So far 2 guys in here have a slight memory of having played it or seen it. It would be most helpful to grab footage from this TV show, as to prove the existance of the game and better consistent evidnce (games were shown full-screen on gameplay when they ran the compos)
WE ARE OFFERING A REWARD FOR THE LOCATION OF THIS GAME
Thank you for your attention :)

Maybe you are looking for a game called Squigs??? Just a guess or actually prob not since it doesn't look like the atari tetris.

If it ain't looking like Atari Tetris, I ain't looking for it.
My request has been pretty clear and strict, I have been looking for this for 16 years or so!

Hi,
sounds like this game is pretty important to you, i cant help you in this quest but i wish you are able to find it.
:-)

Could it be any of these?
Amigaboy Tetris (1989) (Looks and plays like a Gameboy)
Amiga Tetris - Sex Special (ok, probably not)
Giger-Tetris (1993) (AGA, I guess not)
Power Tetris (1994) (Too new?)
The Tetris Collection
Tetris v3
Ultimate Gameboy Simulator - Tetris (1992)
Edit: Seems the Tetris Collection was just Tetris Pro by 2000AD.. :-(

Does that really exist? Sounds like a very complicated way to have a w*nk...

Oh yes! :-) I tested it just now -- it's terrible!
Definitely not recommended! :lol:

Hmmm...
I remember paying a German Tetris clone called Steinschlag that played pretty close to Atari Tetris. That wouldn't be it, would it?

What was terrible? The w*nk or the game? :-D :-D
I know the feeling the TS has. I've been looking for this tennis game for quiet a while. Turned out to be Tie-Break.

Hi! Have you tried contacting the tv-station for information regarding this?
-
I recognise the screenshots, because I had this game on PC. And on the PC it's called "Supertet" (at least on the floppy I had). It's freeware.
Strange though that appearently on the Amiga it's not Supertet (as super tetris is alreay added to your list).

Even if blocks scroll down super-smoothly, Steinschlag doesn't look very similar to Atari Tetris, does it?

Oh my! It seems my comment could be misunderstood in a most awful way! :lol:
I just meant that I played the game for 10-20 seconds, and nothing more. :lol:

@Akira
Hello pal,
I have a Tetris clone called Start'N'Tris. I think it's a Spanish game or something.
It's the best Tetris clone i've played on Amiga, but i'm not sure if it's what you're looking for. It's not exactly the same as Atari Tetris. It's a different game with it's own personality. But the scroll is very smooth . . . ok, it's on the Amiga, so it isn't anything new :-)
I coudn't find any references for it on the Internet, so i'll try to grab some screens to post here later.

Hello!
Just registered for this topic.
I have this game on my collection (exact like the screenshots you added although I think instead of "Atari bla bla bla" it had something like "1989 Amiga Version" but I can't remember for sure).
I remember it clearly because it was best tetris clone I had played on my amiga 500+.
Unfortunately, the game itself is on an amiga floppy disk that I have and I do not have my collection with me so I cannot transfer it to an adf and upload it to you.
I will ask some other amiga folks on the Hellenic Amiga forum Amigahellas. Someone might have it also.
Bye!

Ugh, guess you're right...
Sorry, been over a decade-and-a-half since I played it, just remembered it being smooth
:crazy:

I have been collating my Amiga disks today and have a box full of Tetris games here. I have more sprinkled across computers, but three not mentioned there are..
Klacktris
Hot Blox
Dr Mario
Tettrix is spelt this way.. you can get it on Amiga Computing cover disk April 92 but its crap. There are the AGA versions Tetris.AGA Anglia PD G6060. and Giger tetris from 17 Bit Disk No 2994.. neither of these are what you are looking for.
Klacktris is the best to be honest.
I'll keep looking. I'm bound to have others. If you keep an eye on my games listing on the site you may see others.
