The Story of Tetris

Remembering the games of yesteryear.

The Story of Tetris

Postby R-90-2 » Mon Feb 5, '18, 3:25 pm

So, Tetris is probably the biggest puzzle video game that ever was, but it was quite a tough job just getting it out of Russia- and that's not even including the tangle of negotiations and testing that involved Elorg, Atari, Nintendo, Bulletproof Software, and more besides.

The Gaming Historian has now done a video explaining everything about the long and complicated history of this cold war stunner.

Do not say: How is it that former times were better than these? For it is not out of wisdom that you ask about this. Ecclesiastes 7:10
