Created by Alexey Pajitnov during his years working with the Dorodnicyn Computing Center of the Academy of Science of the USSR, this widely-renowned game has been re-released many times, on a variety of different systems. Currently, Nintendo holds the rights to the game.
Fun Facts:
- The name "Tetris" comes from the Greek prefix "tetra", meaning "four" (as all the pieces contain four blocks), and "tennis", creator Pajitnov's favorite sport.
- Each of the four block pieces is called a "Tetromino".
- The "Tetris Effect" is named after the game; it is a symptom of playing puzzle games that actually causes the person to see the puzzle pieces when not playing.
