Organization
This list is going to be huge, so we should build it carefully. I suggest 3 general categories:
1. Official Tetris Games
2. Official Unrelated Games (games that use "Tetris" or "-tris")
3. Unoffical, Though Significant Fan Games (tetrinet etc.)
To clarify, I think Official Games should include even games that are technically unlicensed, but were believed to be legitimate by the developers. eg. Tengen Tetris & Megadrive Tetris
Also, should we drop acronyms? eg. GB -> GameBoy
At least, we shouldn't require them. There are waaaay to many versions on obscure Japanese home computer platforms to warrant that.

- yeah, this is a touch decision. official, i guess, would mean the same thing as authentic, but how do you destinguish unrelated games? for that, you'd need to define tetris specifically. is tetris a falling tetromino game? if so, anything other could be unrelated. maybe do something like this,
- official (all published games with "ris" in its title, which would take care of believed legitimate games)
- unofficial (which would indicate unpublished unlicensed fan games)
- in any case, we'd need to explain how we define it, however way we devide them.
- in addition, feel free to move the pages to non-abbreviated pages, as i prefer the professional look.

- okay, basically we can make three distinctions
- legally licensed games
- those early games which were published during the copyright wars, but never legally were okay with elorg
- fan games without licenses (which naturally aren't published)
- games which bare the tetris trademark, but don't really have tetris look and feel.
- so i guess we could clump 1 and 2 together, and seperate 4-- but i don't know how'd we label them.
