Tetris Celebrates 25th Anniversary

One of our favorite classic puzzle game Tetris has turned 25! And even the good folks at Google are celebrating it ^^

I’m sure almost everyone would have played at least one game of Tetris in their life before, so I would have to explain what it is:

Tetris (Russian: Тетрис) is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov. It was created on June 6, 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow. 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.

I wonder amongst all the people that inhabit this earth, which is known more to people? Google or Tetris
