Game Information:
Tetris is widely known as the most popular computer puzzle game of all time. It was invented by Alexey Pazhitnov in 1985, while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, during the days of the Soviet Union. Pajitnov has cited pentominoes as a source of inspiration for the game.
Its name is derived from the Greek numerical prefix "tetra-" meaning four, as all of the blocks are made up of four segments. The game first gained mainstream exposure and popularity beginning in 1989 when Nintendo released Tetris on its Game Boy system. Tetris consistently appears on lists of the greatest video games of all time, and sales of the video game are second only to Super Mario Bros.
