Engadget - Tetris turns 25 years young, still puzzles the best of us

[FdmNews 0]

If you would've told someone back in 1984 that Alexey Pajitnov would become world renowned, they would've likely laughed you right out of Russia. But on June 6th of that very year, said individual created what's easily the planet's most recognizable puzzle game: Tetris. We mean, who didn't have a childhood obsession with playing this very title on a TI-83 calculator while professors figured you were toiling away on classwork? Ah, good times. Feel free to share your best memories in comments below, and remember, there's no shame in tearing up. Or longing for a "T" to come along and fill that one last gap there on the right.

Nothing like the classics.

 

This one had so many remakes. Although, it was a bit of bait and switch for some titles. Nothing like spending 10 minutes downloading a new super deluxe action game: Defeat the alien menance or some other great story only to find that what you actually got was a revamped version of tetris with super cool graphics and a plot line that progressed between the boards.

 

Good times.
