			The Tetris MicroCard was hacked by various developers to host portrait-orientated game, such as version of PPOT's 1943 Battle of Midway, shown below.

			==== Tetris MicroCard ====
			The Tetris MicroCard is a licenced version of Tetris packaged in an Arduboy-like case. The case is landscape orientated with the screen in portrait orientation to suit the game dynamics. Unlike the Arduboy variants, the MicroCard uses an ATmega 328P processor making it incompatible with most Arduboy games due to it having less RAM than the ATmega32u4 processor.
