Originally developed on a Russian DCC clone PDP Computer by a humble employee of the Moscow Academy of Sciences, Alexey Pajitnov's mega hit succeeds where other puzzle games have failed: by keeping it simple. Seven blocks, known as Tetraminoes, and one empty "well" quickly translate into hopeless addiction. There are few games that haunt you even after you stop playing -- but 30 minutes with this puzzle masterpiece and you'll see Tetris pieces wherever you look. No matter what platform it's on, Tetris remains one of the purest and accessible videogames ever made, proving that some of the most addictive games are the simplest

User Reviews about Tetris

I love tetris so I like this game and play it often, but the game is not complex in any way and the graphics are very simple. -- Only if you are a tetris enthusiast

I recieved it and it works just great. It provided me with memories from a lost childhood. A simple and fun game (that can also be stimulating for the mind). What more could one ask for? Innocense...purity...tetris -- Tetris can't go wrong

I love this game! This game is a classic. I have a Game Boy Advance Sp but it is compatible and I can play this on it. It is twice the size of the games that go this the GBA Sp but I don't care. I play this all the time. I love the music in which I get stuck in my head all the time :) -- A Classic!

Tetris for the Game Boy was one of the first original Game Boy games to be released. In fact, there was a time when it actually shipped with the system itself, though of course, this was back in 1989. Even though the game is probably older than I am, I really enjoy playing it on my GBA SP and GameCube a great deal. It is just of the very few old games out there that never gets old. It is still a blast to play, even after all this time. Sure, it's not Tetris DS for the Nintendo DS, but it is still well worth playing, especially if you still own an original Game Boy system. -- The one puzzle game that never gets old
