Tetris is one of the most successful games in history.absolutely the entire history of video games. And it also has some peculiarities, among which the fact that it was created by a single person who was also on the other side of the Iron Curtain at the time stands out. It is true, of course, that it took three years to cross the borders of the Soviet Union and thus begin to conquer the world, but once its geographical expansion began, it never stopped.

Since the late 1980s, when arcade games had a large presence in public entertainment and restaurant spaces, the block game became essentialgreat success. Whenever you went to a Tetris arcade, it was rare to find it empty, and with luck you might even meet one of those people who demonstrated a superhuman ability to stack blocks even when they descended to near-light speeds.

Arcade machines were disappearing from bars (and many other places), but Tetris is here to stay. Whether in the console version (the Game Boy version is still well remembered by those who enjoyed it back then) or for the computer, with thousands of clones that proliferated, its expansion knew no bounds. And it still arouses great interest. It was not for nothing that we told you just a few months ago that an even more complicated historical version appeared and also that a 13-year-old boy managed to “finish” the game. Not to mention last year’s premiere of Tetris on Apple TV+, a more than interesting biopic of Hank Rogers, the man responsible for bringing Tetris to the United States.

Since then, we have great news for tetromino folding lovers Digital Eclipse has just announced Tetris Forever, a very complete compilation of Tetris versions. In particular, we will find no less than 15 classic versions of the game, including a reconstruction of the one created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984, many of which have not yet left the Japanese market, as well as the new title Tetris Time Warp. , created especially for the occasion, the 40th anniversary of the release of the original version.

Tetris Forever is not content with including versions of the game, we also find over an hour of documentaries focusing on the friendship between Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogersthe protagonist of the Apple TV+ production I mentioned earlier.
