This year, the all-time-favorite game celebrates its 25 years.
In 1984, Russian mathematician Alexey Pajitnov was playing with one of his favorite puzzles when he had an inspiration: How about creating a computer version?
Pajitnov wrote the program in his spare time, simplifying the idea to make it easier for those of us who aren’t math geniuses.
He used shapes made of four squares — hence “Tetris,” which comes from the Greek word for four, “Tetra.”
