History of Tetris

Tetris was created by Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. The name comes from the Greek prefix "tetra-" (meaning "four") and "tennis," Pajitnov's favorite sport. The game gained worldwide popularity when it was bundled with Nintendo's Game Boy in 1989. Since then, it has been ported to nearly every gaming platform and is considered one of the greatest and most influential video games of all time. The simple yet addictive gameplay of arranging falling blocks to create complete lines has made it a cultural phenomenon that continues to captivate players decades after its creation.
