Just in case you didn't notice (or you didn't enter Google today ), today is Tetris's 25th birthday. Everyone has lost tons of hours playing it, and is one of the few games that could remain mostly intact since its creation because of its extremely simple yet addictive gameplay. Not a lot more to say, but happy birthday and let's hope for many more to come! :birthday::birthday:
ah, tetris, best known game ever =) happy birthday and I think Alex P. should be in for a Nobel prize
Haha, just saw this on Google - pretty cool that they're celebrating that! I mean, they could have chosen Scott of the Antarctic's birthday, Wally Herbery arriving at the North Pole, the Japanese retreating in the Battle of Midway, D-Day (probably the most obvious one!), or indeed the birthday of Robert Englund, Billie Whitelaw, Bjorn Bord, Steve Vai or Dave Navarro. The first electric iron was patented in 1882, the first US federal tax on gasoline in 1932, the first drive-in movie theatre in Camden, NJ opened in 1933, the first helicopter was tested in Germany in 1936, the first nylon parachute jump in 1942, the last airing of the Ed Sullivan Show in 1971, or the ruling that medicinal marijuana was illegal in 2005. So happy birthday Tetris, and congratulations on being bigger than D-Day! :lol:
I agree, but unfortunately there's no Nobel prize for video games..yet :lol: I want to say it's the first version, released for the Electronica 60 computer, but I don't know if that was in English.
Happy birthday Tetris. Hopefully if we mention thy name enough times the KGB will come and join the thread looking for copyright infringement.
