The Tetris Gym V5 is a custom-created NES cart which stacks (pun intended) lots of features on top of the original Tetris game.

These carts feature a brand new custom-designed PCB so the edge connectors won’t have 30 years plus of wear and tear, meaning you shouldn’t have to blow in the edge of this cartridge for many years to come! The PCB has added save RAM with battery backup meaning you can now keep save states and high scores saved between sessions.

It’s a multi-region clone, which means that whether you have an American NTSC or a European PAL console this cartridge will work on your old NES. It’s also been tested successfully to work on clone consoles and the creator, Ericicx tests each assembled cartridge on their NES and on their RetroN1 clone console.

Wrapped up in a custom plastic shell with a lovely label design we think this cart is worthy of display. It’s amazing that after so many years there is still a dedicated fan base and new releases; not only creating clone consoles but cloned console content. We’ve also written about Ericicx before as they are the creator of the goofy foot controllers which are an awesome alternate input device that can give you an edge in gaming and in particular, competitive Tetris!
