Happy Birthday Tetris

Meant to post this yesterday and I forgot. :oops:

I happened over on the Google site yesterday to do a search for something and the Google name was "decorated" up as they usually do when they are celebrating a special day, occassion, etc. So I clicked on it and found they were celebrating the birthday of the game Tetris.

Wow, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. Tetris must be the game with the most ports to different gaming platforms. It's been on nearly everything in some form or another.

Tetris is one of those games that nearly everybody in the world has had the chance to play at some point too. It's pretty amazing how well it has gotten around.
