tetris celebrates 25 years

How many older gamers out there can recall spending hours and hours playing Tetris? Well, everyone's favorite puzzle-piece-rotation game is turning 25. First available for the IBM computer and subsequently launched on the Game Boy in 1989, Tetris was developed by Alexey Pajitnov, a Russian computer engineer, who unfortunately made little money from the blockbuster (get it?) game thanks to the Kremlin government claiming rights to the game and selling them cheaply. Nintendo has reported that the Game Boy version of Tetris sold 35 million copies during its run. Now available on nearly every console, Tetris remains one of the greatest classic games ever made and is still going strong after a quarter of a century!
