Most of those are junk to be honest.

I wish they would get their shit together and release the rest of the TGM series.

• Spectrum Holobyte, who made popular Tetris versions, merged with Nexa to become Spere, Inc, who did some other Tetris version. Later Spere Inc merged with MicroProse to become MicroProse Inc. Microcrose was later acquired by Hasbro and some time later sold to Infogrames bundled with Atari and Hasbro Interactive's catalog. Some time later Infogrames got rebranded as Atari. Atari owns Digital Eclipse, who made this compilation
• Mirrorsoft got bankrupt some time after its CEO dissapeared with his yatch and their assets got sold to Acclaim, who later got bankrupt in 2004 and sold their assets to different companies.

Do a sequel to Tetris Effect and we're good. Not this shovelware.

This is not shovelware, it includes and explains an important part of gaming history. I also want a Tetris Effect sequel btw.

Good. Games preservation. Or the closest we can have, at least.
