Yep. Tetris turns 25 years old today. It was released on June 6th, 1984.
I still have my Game Boy cartridge of Tetris. Besides that, the only other Tetris game I have is Tetris Party. But I've always loved Tetris. Maybe I should get Tetris DS.
Also, if you go to Google, their image will be made up of Tetrominoes. It's D-Day today, too. So it's kind of funny to see Google celebrating Tetris over that. :P
heehee 1984
Google's logo today is pretty cool.

1984 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN INSTRUCTION NOT MANUAL
Shame that the guy who made it isn't making a ruble off of it....
I prefer the Tengen version, and the one originally made by the guy because of the better gameplay and subtly veiled Soviet/Communist symbols.
Y'know, it's hard to believe it's that old. But looking back, it was already old when I was born, in terms of game series.
the classic of all puzzle games. One of the top selling videogames of all time (I think only Mario Bros. and Mario Bros 3 actually beat Tetris on the original NES).
Too bad the guy who made it made less than $10,000 in the entirety of the game's lifespan. That dude deserves to be remembered as greatly as all the other programmers of the time. But hey, Soviet Russia X_X;;
I own several Tetris Game very fun...
