Tetris Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Tetris has reached its mid-twenties. Recently the innocuous little puzzler reached its quarter-century anniversary to a level of fanfare appropriate to a block stacking exercise.
It was, of course, the introduction to gaming for a lot of people, and spawned a endless load of copies, rip-offs, pointless sequels, cosplay and a gameshow craze. Not bad for a game which puts you in charge of making a series of squares conform to government specifications. And everyone has their own stories about it. My wife is a 5th level Grand Tetra, and I had a friend in high school who reprogrammed a portable Tetris clone to only spit out straight line blocks, because he was mentally incorrect.
Now enjoy Guillaume Reymond’s version of Tetris, with human blocks and severe awesome:

I would like you to do themed versions of tetris like TETRIS if it was done by Michael Bay or M Night Shyamalan
