Are we talking about the Master System game? I used to see these
everywhere for about $5 loose. There are some blue-label South American
versions of the cartridge that ended up in the States that lowered the
value a little by increasing the number of available carts. Master System
hardware and carts are getting a little more popular these days since
they're so scarce, so pricing will probably vary wildly for a few years.

Disregard this rule if the meat in the nuggets is not actually chicken.

You are sure it is common? I thought I remember reading somewhere
(wilkipedia?) that it is quite rare.
I tried it on an emulator; thought it was a pretty good port. A few of
the sound effects were
pretty pathetic, everything else seemed ok.

Today I picked up blockout. Now THAT is a pathetic arcade port to the
Genesis. Yikes.
It doesn't even have the blockmaster in it.

You're right, it wasn't.

> No, this is the Genesis cart.

As for the Genesis version, I'd guess a decent price for it, complete
would be $10, but cart only I wouldn't pay more than $2 or $3(not
because it's bad, but because it's a fairly common game).

Some quick thoughts on it, if interested:

Around here it is, at least.

Well, it was an unlicensed game at the time, so it probably didn't see
the distribution most games did, leading people to believe that.

It's really pretty solid, has less slowdown than the arcade too.

Never have played that one...the whole "3D" Tetris idea doesn't do much
for me.

A little late to the party, but.... I don't think it was THAT bad. It
certainly had its issues, but it was more faithful to the arcade version
than the NES version. Why did Tradewest not even attempt a legit
conversion?
