Guideline compliant game differences

There are no games that meet all of the requirements of the Tetris Guideline, but there are some that meet some of them. Therefore the following table lists differences in game rules among games vaguely believed to somewhat attempt to closely follow some of the Tetris Guideline in part published by The Tetris Company. Cells left blank or with a question mark are not yet known.
