There was much discussion a while back about the
"real" Tetris (as distributed by Spectrum Holobyte) and
all of those other insidious Tetris clones that were
infringing on Spectrum Holobytes territory.

A friend came by the other day to show me a copy of the
commercial tetris that he had.  It was from MirrorSoft,
not Spectrum Holobyte.

Question of the day:  Was MirrorSoft distributing tetris
for the amiga in the US also?  Or was this originally
meant to be a European-only distribution?  Who had the
first distribution rights for the amiga?

And in case you are wondering:  Yes, his copy was pirated.
There is no way to tell where the original came from.  No,
I didn't keep a copy.  And it was inferior to Obsess-O-Matic.
