Unused Graphics

Early Title Screen Variants

The game's graphic banks contain tile data for earlier versions of the game's title, which include Tetris 96 and New Tetris (Not to be confused with The New Tetris). A graphic for the latter one is loaded in the Gameplay screen, though it is covered by an extra layer which covers the "New" section and displays the "Plus" of the final name.
