Partial transcript
Tetris. One of the most popular videos games ever, and perhaps the greatest of all time. A simple set of rules that offer an addictive challenge.
It may be the one game that transcends time and lives forever.
Tetris has been played on computers, mobile phones, and on the TV. In its countless forms, Tetris has made fans all over the world. And one of them, who once had the highest Tetris score in the world … is one of the founders of Apple?
When it comes to Tetris, no formal introduction is needed. Created by Alexey Pajitnov behind the Iron Curtain, in the USSR in 1984, the game passed through to the Free World, through some licensing deals by various companies including SEGA and Atari Games, but eventually the rights went to Nintendo, who brought the game to the masses by releasing versions for the Nintendo Entertainment System and GameBoy in 1989 With a few sequels and variants following in years after.
Today the game is owned by the Tetris Company which means I guess Tetris became self aware and then emancipated itself...
Most younger gamers, those who didn’t have access to computers, first learned of the game in Nintendo Power: The in-house publicity arm of Nintendo of America. Part of Nintendo’s strategy was to bundle Tetris with the GameBoy upon release. making it an instant killer app as millions of people, including a large number of adults, ran out to get a GameBoy simply to get a quick fix of Tetris.
