If you are one Tetris fans can’t help but be excited about Digital Eclipse’s third Gold Master Series title, Tetris forever. And vintage experts are continuing to hammer out the deal on this brilliant interactive digital museum, which launches on November 12.
Two more games have been confirmed to be included in Tetris Forever, and both are extremely early releases of the classic platformer. Both AcademySoft and Spectrum HoloByte versions of Tetris, released on MS-DOS, will be part of the package.
Editorial director of Digital Eclipse Chris Kohler shared on Twitter (now known as X) that “a lot of work went into making this simple announcement possible”. As some fans have noted, many previous Digital Eclipse collections did not include MS-DOS games, so this is a big deal. And that has also been the studio’s “dream” for a long time.
