Tetris

The Story

Alexey Pajitnov designed Tetris in 1984 on a Soviet Elektronika 60 computer in Moscow, and it spread through the USSR on floppy disks before the West saw it. Nintendo bundled it with the Game Boy. The combination made the Game Boy dominant for a decade. No game has ever been as universally played across every age, culture, and level of gaming experience. Tetris is the proof that a perfect game concept is perfect forever — and the Game Boy version remains the definitive edition.
