Trivia:

Tetris was actually never released as Nintendo thought it might ruin sales of the GameBoy version. You can however buy the mini classic version if you want to see what it would have looked like.

Other notices:

If you hold in the Game key the highest previous score will be displayed. If the unit is left as it is after game is over, time display will appear in about four minutes. A game is not interrupted even if TIME key or other game keys are depressed during game playing. Pressing ACL switch or removing batteries erases high score from memory.

The question is: How do we know that Nintendo was going to release a Tetris. Well the only proof I've found so far is from a Zelda (ZL-65) Game & Watch Brochure dated July 1989. It shows a blank Multi-Screen game next to the then new Zelda (ZL-65) game. We are pretty sure this was supposed to be Tetris, but 100% sure we are not and the model nr. TR-66 is just a guess.
