Is this the real deal, and if it is isn't it worth a lot more?

Holy crap. Its basically a repro. Don't pay that much. Just put it on a flash cart.

I agree. IIRC Japanese MD games didn't use that style of case for ANY games released over there.

Think you answered your own question. ;) It's a ridiculously overpriced Chinese bootleg - nice to see with a case, I guess, but $500? Crazies.

Thats a Repro as can be seen from looking at the cart and is definitely overpriced at $500

Whats funny is how Tetris started out as a soviet computer science students project, and then turned into a patent encumbered moneymaking beast.

That's a bootleg. However, even the bootleg can usually cost up to a couple hundered dollars. The original is the extreme deal, but even the bootleg costs a bit of money.

I always figured Columns was the Genesis version of Tetris.

And the one who made the least money was the creator himself. How ironic.
