Summary It is, perhaps, the perfect video game. Simple yet addictive, Tetris delivers an irresistable, unending puzzle that has players hooked. Computer scientist Alexey Pajitnov had big ideas about games. In 1984, he created Tetris in his spare time while developing software for the Soviet government. Once Tetris emerged from behind the Iron Curtain, it was an instant hit.
