Tetris is one of the best games in the world, and it's almost certain that everyone has ever played it, as surely as everyone breathes air. It's one of the most recognizable video games of all time, and it's definitely the most popular puzzle game of all time and to play it successfully requires good precision. It is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alekséi Pázhitnov in the Soviet Union. It was released on June 6, 1984 as a prototype designed for Electronika 60 (which was a fairly old Soviet computer), which would later be carried by Vadim Gerasimov MS-Dos who studied at the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union where the previous creator worked and then distributed to almost any device such as Cell Phones, Clocks and various consoles such as Super Nintendo, Mega Drive, Nintendo 64.... PlayStation 2, Xbox, Game Cube... Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, among others..
It is not enough to let the blocks fall where they should; they must be turned, moved, slid through corners and cracks in the space of half a second. Boxes of letter-shaped blocks in each of them, and then swear on the screen until the game leaves its coveted "I" piece. You clean the lines this way, ideally four at a time. Depending on your preferred method of play, you can stack the blocks normally by scoring points when you can to get a high score or challenge yourself to create as many lines as possible before the blocks of letters stack up at the top of the screen and ignite the apocalypse.

The player can't prevent the blocks from falling, but he can decide the rotation of the piece and where it should fall, and it's a pretty brilliant game, he made one of the best moves in the history of the video game industry, as Tetris was a perfect fit to play on the go, it was a worldwide phenomenon, tons of people got hooked on this game 20 years ago and this game caused at least 1 million Game Boys to be sold in 1989. The result of this game is a fairly decent introduction to a fascinating moment in cultural history, which touches on the past of and the revolutions of the 1980s that made the game one of the world's greatest creative industries.
Aleksei Pashithnov would have been inspired by a pentamino game he had bought earlier. Alekséi Pázhitnov programmed a version of his game in an Electronika 60.16 according to legend in a single afternoon. You have to keep in mind that what was really complex was getting to the original idea of the game and not the programming itself.

This game greatly benefits the proper development of the brain, devoting time to this practice involves favorable changes for the brain, especially promoting critical thinking, language processing and planning of coordinated movements, which brings various contributions to the educational part of video games.
According to Dr. Richard Haier, playing Tetris is quite complicated in itself for the brain, because it requires a lot of attention and memory, and playing it for a long time can lead to more efficient brain activity during play, when you play Tetris for the first time, it increases brain function and activity, and playing Tetris in a moderate way increases cognitive functions such as critical thinking, reasoning, language processing which will bring different benefits in the educational sense.

It's amazing how a game that first appeared in the 80's, and that continues to have the same entertaining theme and is still one of the best video games in history and that is undoubtedly a rather nostalgic game that has given us many hours of fun over time and I hope that those who have not yet tried this title do so and enjoy it as much as I and millions of people around the world did and continue to do so.

nice write up friend keep up the good work.
I haven't played this game many times, but I saw many videos explaining the design of it. It's so brilliantly designed that changing the pieces of the game or adding to them can make it unplayable.
There is much to learn from it.
I can think of many people who haven't even touched it, but yeah the message is clear here.
I remember my first Gameboy, tetris was my first game. I'm now 33, and have 5 kids and even they enjoy tetris.... But they still laugh in disbelief that the original gameboys didn't have colour.
