Cabinet Information

Game Introduction

This is Capcom's version of the classic russian puzzle game, Tetris. You take the role of your favorite Disney character: Mickey, Minnie, Donald or Goofy, to play a competitive battle against your opponent. Not only do the original seven Tetris blocks appear, but many bonus blocks as well in a variety of shapes and sizes. Another feature is the shadow mode where you can see where your block will fall before it reaches the bottom. This makes it easier for unskilled players as well as children.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

This game is based off the Nintendo 64 game "Mickey's Magical Tetris Challenge." The PCB even has the N64 logo on it.
