Tetris has been so popular for 25 years

I found a story about "Tetris" in The Japan Times.

Tetris, one of the most loved computer game, was created by Alexey Pajitnov in June 1984. He was a 29-year-old mathematician in Moscow. Tetris was very popular from late 1980s to early 1990s.

It brings back memories. I had often played Tetris in amusement arcades then. I was not mad about Tetris because I was busy with work and I was mad about shogi. But Tetris was very fun. When I heard the man created Tetris was Russian, I felt it was strange. Because Russia was not a capitalistic country then.

I visited a Web site introduced in the article and played Tetris. It is really fun. I can't concentrate on my work. Ah!
