How to Play Tetris on the Computer
"Tetris" is a puzzle game that was designed by Mr. Pajitnov of the Soviet Union in 1984. Since its development, the game rapidly grew in popularity and as of the mid-2000s, "Tetris" is available on nearly every computer and video game system. "Tetris" involves the manipulation of special shapes called tetronimoes, which are shapes designed out of four square blocks. The root of both "Tetris" and tetronimoes is tetra, which is Greek for four.
