Henk's first encounter with Tetris

It was indeed at game convention in Vegas according to the BBC documentary Tetris:From Russia With Love --Bmathew 09:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Henk & BPS Software?

Its not entirely clear but was Bulletproof Software essentially Henk's own company which was a one-man-operation? I've seen articles which said that he was the President of the company.--Bmathew 09:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, BPS was Henk's company is Japan. It started out as a mom and pop organization but grew into a company with over 50 employees and over $50 million in sales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.242.79.131 (talk) 01:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs citation flag

While the article on the whole looks sound and true, it could use an "unsourced" flag. I have not clue what the template is. 74.250.198.174 (talk) 20:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black Onyx inconsistencies

How could Hank Rogers "invent" the Japanese RPG when Black Onyx didn't begin development until 1994? Really, almost all of the "facts" are either unsourced, or sourced only through Henk Roger's autobiography on his company's website. I don't really know if that's a credible source. I think someone should rewrite this article to be less like media hock, and more like an encyclopedia article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RemyK313 (talk • contribs) 09:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you're talking about, but there were many versions of The Black Onyx, and he first wrote it in 1983. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 09:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it's a very huge claim that just suddenly appeared. (He only used to claim fame to Tetris.)

If you look on Wikipedia alone, The Black Onyx, which has a citation flag, has the game released in 1984. If you go to the Wikipedia page Role-playing video game under "Video game consoles", it mentions Bokosuka Wars as being an example of an RPG, which is listed as being released in 1983.

Remember, Henk Rogers used to be claimed as the "INVENTOR" of Tetris until people discovered it already existed in Russia. Now, people who write about Rogers have changed their story to match up, so I feel wary, especially since, as you mentioned, many of the sources on the Henk Rogers Wikipedia page have some sort of conflict of interest.

kyuroban Igo

I searched for kyuroban Igo on eBay and didn't come up with anything. Is there another name for it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.28.223 (talk) 12:25, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
