FS Tetris Giant System SP

For Sale
Honestly the cab for this was a let down for me. I mean the big joysticks were perfect but the "GIANT" screen is just like a 47in LCD or a DLP projector that looks like washed out garbage.

They should have developed the game to run vertically and used a truly giant screen like Raw Thrills have for their giant space invaders/pac-man games.
 
It couldn't have been that cool... Sega was supposedly planning a whole line of "giant" games based on that cab and AFAIK no others came out.

I mean you can't exactly call a game "giant" and then have a display that's roughly the same size as what people have at home (even in 2009). Not saying it should have used the Raw Thrills display... just that it should have used a display that size.
 
It was one of the titles I wanted to run on the SP boards I had from my dino kings + love & berry cabs. I never did get hold of a version of it for the CF card that would run on a standard Dino / LnB pic though.

I'm not sure it really is that much cop withouth the novelty huge cab, agreed. I kinda prefer Atari Tetris.. sorry Sega ;(
 
For me the biggest letdown was that the giant sticks are not actually sticks that work; they are just a stationary pillar with buttons on it which you press. So you’re not really missing anything (apart from looks) by not having the cab itself. Just get the pcb guys ;)

You must have played a different game than I did because every one of these I've played did indeed have working sticks. there are two buttons on the ball top but those are the action buttons to rotate the tetrominoes, you still need the giant stick to position it.
 
Oops, looking it up on youtube i guess you are right. Whilst i dont remember the exact number of buttons i do know the one i played did what i typed but im guessing that was an operator hackjob looking back at it. Sorry for the confusion!
