Quantcast



Out of all events related to Tetris, besides the fact that the game is a quarter of a century old, is definitely the announcement of the 25th anniversary of Tetris for the iPhone. In celebration of this milestone (and let’s be real, there are not a ton of game franchises that can say that), EA showed off a special 3-minute documentary of the history of the game.

Think of this as a brief, Cliff Notes guide, to the history of Tetris. Seriously, there was enough drama in the creation of our favorite block-dropping game to force BBC to make a gem of a documentary of Tetris called From Russia with Love. Sure, this documentary isn’t it, but it’s definitely interesting.

I don't think these guys know what the "Tetris effect" is...

This is the first time I've seen Alexey in any video. There's something about him I really like. He comes across as very humble and sincere. :)

Everyone must import the Japan-only Tetris Advance. No exceptions.

I remember watching a episode of Icons on tetris back in the day. The legal battles between nintendo vs tengen and getting it out or russia was intense. I would love to see a documentry about it.

I'm probably the only person on this site who has never played Tetris before. And yes, I do consider myself a hardcore gamer.
