Tetris

GamePlay:

Tetris is a video game that uses tetrominos, a custom four block shape.
The shape types are:

Tetris is consisted of seven tetromino types. 

The object of the game is to rotate and rerarrange the tetrominos in a perfect horizontal line. The blocks must all make a straight line. When a line is formed, the blocks in the line disappear. Any blocks on top of that line fall down, in order for the player to repeat. Tetris can be a never ending game, but as you keep making perfect lines. The blocks in the meantime keep falling down from the top of the screen. When more lines are made,  the blocks come down faster and faster. You gain points when you make perfect lines and lose if you can't manage the number of blocks, in which the blocks keep stacking and no lines can be made. You can levels as you make lines and the blocks come down fasters as a new level approaches. 

History:

Tetris, was founded in Russia during the reign of the Soviet Republic. It was made in 1984 by Alexy Pajitnov. He created the game for the elektronika 60. IBM saw interest and bought rights to it, but however when other computer industries gained power in the U.S. Not much contract rights were issued. When IBM fell, the technology and Tetris even went along the lines of MS-DOS, Apple II,  along Attari, and Nintendo. Along the 80's, 90's, and 2000 era,  it further passed onto almost all electronic mobile devices.

However in 1996, the Tetris company was founded in the U.S that controlled the Tetris trademark and license agreements throughout the U.S. Many electronics had to ban Tetris within the market.

As of today, Android phones were offered cease and desist letters to use Tetris without reliable agreements. Google and the android phone market were sent letters to eliminate tetris games from the phones and applications. Still Nintendo, cellphone, and the PC companies have found loop holes to make Tetris and manipulate it into various shapes and game styles.

The PC age and the Video game industry are very similar in the use of program coping, without proper copyright restriction.

My Views:

For myself, I started playing tetris when it first appeared on the nintendo system. I remember always playing Tetris on the nintendo system back in the 80's, when I was little. To me, that was the first and best time playing tetris. The colors of the blocks always made me hungry (seriously). Along with Nintendos version of the Tetris theme. I always thought the type C on the NES was the best version.

Here is a link to the version I am talking about:

I always played Tetris alongside Mario, Legend of Zelda, Megaman (Rockman), and Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest). The music for some reason made the games in synch as well. Anyway, it is a great game with great music. You can't get bored only add adrenaline to your high score.
