The Tetris game is an electronic puzzle game that was created in the USSR by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. Much of the game’s depth is derived from its simplicity. The objective of the game is simple: clear pieces by positioning the falling Tetrimino shapes in the Matrix to form horizontal line across the width of the Matrix! This particular version of Tetris was originally scheduled to be released exclusively for the Sega Genesis in 1989. However, after finding out Nintendo had the console license for Tetris, the game was quickly canceled and most existing copies were destroyed. It is rumored that less than 10 copies survived! The popularity of Tetris exploded in the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries around the world. Play it yourself to find out why!
