Tetris is a puzzle video game created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov, a
Soviet software engineer. It has been published by several companies for
multiple platforms, most prominently during a dispute over the
appropriation of the rights in the late 1980s. After a significant
period of publication by Nintendo, the rights reverted to Pajitnov in
1996, who co-founded the Tetris Company with Henk Rogers to manage
licensing.
I’m not going to waste time describing how to play
Tetris. I’m pretty sure this is one of the most worldwide known games,
along with Mario Bros. and Sonic. However I do have some good News to
share today. RetroBytes group recently released a new Tetris clone for the Commodore 64 which came first place at LuheCon³ Demo Party in the mixed game category. Download it here: TETRIS recoded.d64
