TETRIS is 25 years old this week

Topics

It is 25 years since a Russian man, Alexey Pajitnov, invented Tetris.
There have been many variations, but Tetris remains one of the most addictive of games.
The number of times I have said "Just one more" after a game are innumerable.
I am not a fanatic game player but Tetris must be my favourite game; it`s always the one I return to most.

I got free with the very first game boy in 1994.

Still playing it now,
