Rotating of course allows you to rotate each Tetrimino, in 4 directions. There are only two moves to the whole game, that being “Rotating” and “Holding”. If you manage to clear four of those rows at the same time, then you will get the aptly named “tetris”. This allows the player to gain points depending on how many rows at a time are cleared. When a player gets an entire horizontal row of blocks to reach both sides of the board with no gaps, said row will disappear, making all the Tetriminos above it shift down by a one block space. The goal of the game is to last as long as possible without having the Tetriminos reach the roof of the board, while also getting as many points as possible. There are a total of 7 Tetriminos that each have their own shape, each comprising of 4 blocks in total. You’re almost definitely familiar with the gameplay, but on the slim chance you’re not, here’s a brief summary.īlocks called “Tetriminos” fall from the sky onto a board that’s typically 10×20 blocks (in terms). There’s usually some minor changes (and in some cases, drastic changes) included in each release, but at its core, it’s still Tetris. When I saw Tetris has been released on countless platforms I mean variants have been released on every major game console ever, truly making it a timeless classic, still being rereleased 37 years after its release.

Since 1987 Tetris has been rereleased on countless platforms, a large contributing factor on why for such a long time it was the best selling video game of all time and ranks third now. Chances are that you’ve heard of Tetris, and probably even played it. Originally released on June 6th 1984 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Tetris is a high-score oriented puzzle game created by Alexey Pajitnov.
