Actually last years final round was Combat, not Pong. Still an awesome match though.

Winning a tricked out Scion car for besting your opponents in "Tetris"? Sounds good to me.

The Tengen version is the only Tetris game available for the NES with multiplayer. The authorized one is 1P only.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

I see they went with the top loading NES. Otherwise, the final Omegathon challenge would have been "Who can can get Tetris to boot first on the original NES?"

Actually, Dracula Jones, that doesn't look like the NES Model 2, either. Looks to be a "Famiclone" to me. :D

I have the tengen version of tertis. That game was amazing! I love the co-op 2 player mode, where both players try to clear teh same well.

I don't recal what kind of beanbags they are but I heard people talking about them while I was there. I did try them out and they where VERY comfy.

Some one mentioned they where very expensive though =/ boarding on rediculous. I didn't catch any numbers.

Tengen Tetris is awesome, but I still like to rep Nintendo Tetris as well.

Would they, by any chance, be fatboys?

they could also be lovesacks, dont feel like looking up a website right now but there is a store in mayfair mall in Milwaukee WI. I am sure they have other stores and maybe sell online. I sat in one and I fell asleep quite quickly.

They were Sumo bean bags. They sponsor PA, look for the ads, or sumolounge.com.

Davertron blew ass. LeRoy was decent, but he won by Davertron killing himself twice. It was uncomfortable to watch - LeRoy didn't make it past, what, 22 lines? He didn't have to, because Davertron was pile the stack with 3 lines.

It was also lame that the GH round was on Medium difficulty, but eh.

Play some video games, win a car. Design a high quality commercial, get a notebook. I guess it's up to the sponsors...

Back in 93, I wanted that game so bad...

But where was a 13 year old going to get the $250 price?

"Hey, does anyone know what kinda bean bags they had on hand there? anyone try them out? I am looking for some kick ass bean bags and those look class"

That would be a comment from someone who works for/is paid by Sumo! http://www.sumolounge.com/

In "the biz" we call such a person a "shill" or "plant" http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/01/25 (read more from the news posts that day and the next few days after for more info)

Of course, if those bean bags came with the hot blonde girl from their site, I'd buy them by the dozen. I would wreck that chick.

Thats not the only version of tetris that has 2 player!

I had a nes that I sold on ebay, and my copy of tetris i sold with it had 2 player. And it was a nintendo version not kengen!

Please dont tell me thats rare :(
I only sold it for £30

"the only NES variant with 2 player support."

I bought some kind of pirate/third party cartridge with Tetris for my NES and it has 2 player support, and a russian theme, don't know if it's that one, there was some guys dancing I think but maybe it's the ones in the middle?
