I finally got around to getting a CIB copy of Tetris Attack for SNES and realized the flavor text on the box reads:
"When s the last time YOU had a Tetris Attack?"
with the apostrophe missing.
At first I thought I might have gotten a bootleg, but after some digging it appears that a decent amount of these are in the wild, with some having the typo fixed. I even found some graded copies both with and without the typo.
My guess is that it was noticed after the first print run of the game and corrected in later prints, but I can't find anything about it anywhere online to confirm. So I decided to post it here on the off chance that this totally obscure and useless fact has gone unnoticed.
Example of the typo:
Example of the box WITHOUT the typo:
Example of the typo on the display box used on store shelves prior to commercial release:
It also appears that they changed the color of the text from green to blue on the later print runs with the corrected text.
