Aussie TV Copies Japanese Human Tetris

Glad you brought this up. Recently a Taiwanese show features a game very similiar to the Japanese Human Tetris. I read up a Taiwan news article on this and it reported that the producer of the show denies copying the Korean(guess the reporter only knew the Korean version) instead saying that he had already used this concept in his earlier shows and he came up with the original idea. The same Taiwanese show had been alleged to copy other ideas before, one of them is the Japanese No Laughing game which I think was featured here before. Anyway it is quite obvious that the Taiwanese rip off these ideas but it just disgusts me when they simply refuse to admit it and gave some crappy explanation. However I believe the Aussie have permission to use the concept as the second Japanese Human Tetris video has a caption on the top right which says that 20 countries have licenses the concept. Below is the Taiwanese show.

aussies are pussies! speed those boards up!

This game reminds me of `Its a Knockout` which was popular in Britain way back int the 70`s and early 80`s.

I wouldn’t be surprised the game was franchised. Which is the case already for Big Brother, the weakest link, who wants to be a millionaire, pop idol….
