FREE: Tetris

The listing, Tetris has ended.

The game-play could be summed up in a sentence, but few people realize why it is so good. Most people just think it's a good puzzle game. Some people, like me, recognize its true genius. The game is very VERY simple. All that happens is there are a bunch of falling blocks. The blocks consist of 4 squares re-arranged to make different shapes. You must take the blocks and arrange them in order to make perfect lines. When you do, the blocks will disappear. The objective is to see how long you can go before the blocks overflow to the top of the screen. Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, it is. It was done on the Atari, and I could probably program a game in basic to do it. But, here is where the genius comes in. It is very simple to make, but the game is so complex that its mind boggling how it was made.

You'd think it would be one of those games that you play once and have fun with it, then walk away and never look back. How wrong you are.
