Funny how Codemasters made a controller hack that uses both controllers to play a 1 player game with two people. This code is in the original Game Genie code booklet, which I have. A and B operates on controller 2 while the D-Pad is used by Player 1 to control the Tetrimino pieces.

Here is Codemaster's 2 player code for original reference: http://gamegenie.com/cheats/gamegenie/nes/tetris.html

I wonder why they didn't create a code to access the real 2-player mode. Maybe they didn't want more Galoob lawsuits with Nintendo? hat seems like a likely answer. I doubt they didn't know about this since they disassembled games well before my rabid code ran amok.

To be fair, the game was considerably rushed. Just look at the game's awful programming just in time for whatever reasons Nintendo wanted.. to coincide with the Game Boy release and a scrupulous lisencing deadline? The game was coordinated by NOA and developed by the Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NCL) team.

Still, the Tengen version is better by far.
