    Teleroboxer and V-Tetris

    Three more episodes to the end of our journey, we encounter a pretty basic Tetris port and a strange curio in Nintendo's history of boxing games. What would Edward Maki Jr. think of Arms? And where exactly did the tradition of beating up on the developers' names during the credits come from?
