The game Tetris was first invented by a Russian scientist named Alexey Pajitnov. Alexey developed the game on an Electronica 60.
Over the years, Tetris showed up in a lot of gaming consoles, such as the PC, NES, Gameboy, iPod, Blue Lava Wireless, Nintendo DS, Wii, iPad, mobile phones, and in the Playstation Network. It even showed up as an in-flight game in over 50 airlines worldwide.
Did you know that Tetris can be healthy to you? Scientific research has shown that players of Tetris developed a thicker cortex and better brain efficiency. Also, a study by Emily Holmes, P.H.D, of Oxford suggested that Tetris may help victims of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
