Tetris, Genesis 'TV Game' Devices Detailed

Posted by simoniker on from the surreal-controllers-101 dept.

Thanks to Spong.com for its report on the announcement of Radica's new Tetris 'TV game' device, to be launched in the UK alongside previously mentioned Sega Genesis and Taito all-in-one devices. Apparently, "The [oddly designed] Tetris unit comes with two specially designed controllers containing several variants of the classic Russian puzzler: Tetris, Battle Tetris, Garbage, Timed and Hotline", and in addition to this, the previously-confirmed Genesis 'TV game' is "...fueled by the 16-bit pleasures of Sonic, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Flicky and Kid Chameleon."

    It may look cool, but we'll have to reserve judgement on whether it's actually worth owning (or giving) until we can tell how accurately the games are reproduced.
