Happy Birthday, TETRIS
The game was created 25 years ago today. Learn more about the creation of “the world’s greatest video game” here.
I don’t know about you, but I played TETRIS so much when I was an undergrad in the late 1980s, I would see the shapes when I closed my eyes, trying to get to sleep at night.
And now, there are kids still playing it today on their Wiis and on their cell phones.

So did I.
I think Tetris is the most addictive video game ever.

I have always, always sucked at Tetris.

I’m old. So old.

Even now, I still maintain that Tetris is the highest point video games have achieved in terms of being art.

@Michael
I would put Okami or Ico/Shadow of the Colossus in that category too.
