Today, tetris turned 25. As expected, google even had a theme for that.
I always loved tetris. Join me in celebrating one of the greatest games in history!
Cheers,

Tetris DX for GBC is the best tetris, hands down.

The original is the best. Newer revisions may sell more, but they wouldn't exist if not for the original.

It was created on June 6, 1984,[1] while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow.[2] He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix "tetra- (all of the game's pieces, known as Tetrominoes, contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport.[3][4]
