A lot of the story regarding the Tetris split between Nintendo and Tengen is covered in the great Gaming Historian video [The Story of Tetris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fQtxKmgJC8&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fQtxKmgJC8&t=1s).
- franknine 4y agoThere's another episode from Gaming Historian specifically for Tengen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLA_d9q6ySs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLA_d9q6ySs It talks about how Atari abuses the copyright system to gain access to Nintendo’s protection system source code.
- lupire 4y agoHacked not abused. Nintendo abused the copyright system to lock out cartridges.
- zinekeller 4y agoNope, while Nintendo definitely abused copyright law doesn't mean Atari/Tengen is in the clear. They specifically requested the lockout code fron the US Copyright Office under the pretense that they'll be suing Nintendo.
