Tetris (#1058;#1077;#1090;#1088;#1080;#1089
is a very popular falling blocks puzzle game, released on a large spectrum of platforms. Alexey Pazhitnov (last name transliterated Pajitnov by The Tetris Company[1]) originally designed and programmed the game in June of 1985, while working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, during the days of the Soviet Union. Pajitnov has cited pentominoes as a source of inspiration for the game. He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix "tetra-" meaning four, as all of the pieces contain four segments.
The game (or one of its many variants) is available for nearly every video game console and computer operating system, as well as on devices such as graphing calculators, mobile phones, iPods, and PDAs. Tetris has even appeared as part of an art exhibition on the side of Brown University's 14-story Sciences Library [1]. The game first gained mainstream exposure and popularity beginning in 1989 when Nintendo released Tetris on its Game Boy system. Tetris consistently appears on lists of the greatest video games of all time.
