Atari Jaguar Phear Brochure
If you’re at all interested in the Tetris/Phear Saga I’ve got the full text of H2O’s brochure here. At the time it was written it’s pretty clear that they were a small team of bedroom coders.
I wonder where they are now…
All errors are theirs, unless they’re mine. All the misplaced apostrophes are theirs. All the spelling mistakes are theirs. The bad grammar is theirs. I did not make any errors transcribing this (I think). It should be noted that the original text was in ALL CAPS.

The other side of the brochure had some additional text and specs.

I should clarify that I totally love Tetrisphere, it’s one of the N64’s unquestionably great moments, and one of the few that didn’t rely on a license or character to achieve this greatness.
