	Tengen (company) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tengen unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with Nintendo for a less restrictive license that would allow them to release more than five games per year and that their games would not have to stay NES-exclusive for two years.
		Tengen lost this suit as well and was forced to recall what was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of unsold cartridges (having sold only about 50,000).
		Tengen, depleted by the costly court battles and defeats, faded into the history books by the mid 1990s.

		Tengen is also one of stars and the centeral position in a Go (board game) board.
		Tengen was created after the Video game crash of 1983-1984 by Atari Games (Atari Games was formed when Warner Communications sold the consumer side of Atari Inc. to Jack Tramiel, resulting in two companies - Atari Games and Atari Corp.).
		However Tengen was apparently less than enthusiastic about the terms of the license, and secretly worked to defeat the Nintendo lock-out chip.

		At first, Tengen Games started out as an official Nintendo licensee, but soon grew tired of Nintendo and their strict policies--they took a big chunk of the profits and only Nintendo themselves could actually manufacture the cartridges.
		Tengen made a very superior version of this game, and got the license from a company called Mirrorsoft UK--who had no right to give the license in the first place.
		Many legal battles lay ahead for Tengen, which resulted in their version of Tetris to be pulled from shelves, and any unsold cartridges to be destroyed and leaving the company financially drained.

		Several people at Tengen believed that speed-metal couldn't be done on a console machine though this was proven incorrect after Dave and LX did the music for the Klax game.

	Sensei's Library: Why don't we open at tengen
		Kirk: My argument that tengen is a key point (I wouldn't call it the "best point"), hinges on the idea that Go is not a forced draw (certainly arguable).
		Fhayashi: I have to disagree, as the utility of the tengen in smaller boards may reflect the fact that they are influence-oriented corner moves on multiple corners simultaneously - i.e.
		I think the main success of the tengen opening is when White considers it insulting and then loses mental balance, or when White considers it an overplay and then really does make overplays in an effort to "punish" it.

		At the time this game was released, Tengen had pulled their license with Nintendo and was making unlicensed carts for the NES.
		As a result, the Tengen cartridge of Temple of Doom is considered to be a relatively rare game in NES collector's circles.
		Tengen also gave Indy the ability to jump in this game, and while that sounds exciting, this ability tends to cause frustration for new players as Indy's default direction for jumping is downwards, regardless of what direction he is facing.

		Tengen, the home videogames division of Atari Games (not to be confused with Atari Corp., Atari Games was the Arcade division of Atari that split off the main company in the early 80's), was just like any other Nintendo licensee.
		As a result, the Tengen Tetris's that were sold before they were pulled off the market became pretty valuable (well, as far as Nintendo games go) and they are worth $35-$100 a copy (depending on the condition, boxed, etc.).
		Tengen Tetris is actually much better than Nintendo's version: you can play against two players (either a friend or the computer) or with two players (either a friend or the computer).

	Trivia for Tetris (1989/I) (VG) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tengen, a division owned by Atari that made games for third-party consoles (as a way to make money after Atari's unit was sold off by Warner Communications in 1984).
		Tengen bypassed a lockout chip designed by Nintendo to block unauthorized third-party games (as it was announced that Tengen would make games for the NES behind Nintendo's back) and Tetris was among the games.
		As a result, Tengen lost its case, the Tengen Tetris was recalled from stores, and Nintendo released their own legitimate version for the NES after that.

		But, in case you didn't know, Tengen Tetris is a super rare unlicensed game that has its own little history.
		Tengen also held a license from Mirrorsoft, however, Mirrorsoft's license was only elidgible in Europe.
		So, thus all the Tengen cartridges were either burned, smashed, blown to pieces, punched, kicked, karate tossed, carefully dismantled, or transported to the next dimension.

		As you have all probably read through various sources, Tengen released a copy of Tetris on Nintendo in the year 1989.
		In the year of 1988, one year before Tengen and Nintendo's Tetris games come to life, a company named Bullet Proof Software plans and releases a Tetris game for the Famicom, Japanese Nintendo.
		Tetris is licensed to Andromeda Software LTD and sublicensed to Mirrorsoft LTD Sphere Inc Tengen Inc and Bullet Proof Software Inc. Weird that they say Tengen has the rights to the game yet Tengen didn't have the rights in 1989...

		The battle of Tengen, near Hausen-Tengen, was a lost chance for the Austrians to destroy the isolated III Corps of Marshal Davout.

		Despite relatively equal numbers the Austrians were roughly handled by Davout's corps, which pushed past Hohenzollern and linked up with the main French army near Abensberg.

		Actually this is an alternate version of Tengen's Tetris, as you can see the titlescreen is different.
		It seems that this game could have been a Nintendo Licensed version of the game if you see the menu screenshot, also the game is hosted in a Gyromite cartridge.
		As we all know, Tengen gave up their official license to make NES games, and out of that came a very cool story about sub-licenses, Nintendo finally winning over Tengen, having their unlicensed, illegal, version taken off the shelves and destroyed.
