Digital Eclipse's upcoming 'Tetris Forever' collection will include two MS-DOS versions of Tetris, marking a significant addition to the package. These are:
1. The AcademySoft version: Programmed by Tetris creators Alexey Pajitnov and Vadim Gerasimov, featuring the 1986 copyright screen.
2. The Spectrum HoloByte version: The first commercial version of Tetris.
These inclusions are noteworthy because:
- It's rare for Digital Eclipse collections to feature MS-DOS games.
- Both versions are historically significant, representing the earliest iterations of Tetris.
- The AcademySoft version is the original programmed by Tetris' creators.
- The Spectrum HoloByte version marks the game's first commercial release.
'Tetris Forever' is set to launch on November 12, 2024, as part of Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series. It will feature over 15 playable classic Tetris games, including some never before released outside Japan, along with new documentary content and an exclusive "Tetris Time Warp" mode.
