Does this game even need an introduction? Oh everyone knows what Tetris is even if they've never heard of Tetris! Don't ask me how that works, it's embedded in the collective consciousness! Not only is it arguably the best and most addictive puzzle game of all time, one that would teach you the art of patience while causing you to pull your hair out as the difficulty level increased, but the 1989 Game Boy version, which I hope is the one this IMDb page is about, is probably the best adaptation of the series, and believe that over the years, there has been a ton! Released as one of several tie-in games with the original hand-held system at launch, it presented a deceptively simple pick up and play game design which was perfectly accessible to even the most casual and average of gamers. We didn't always have time for big adventure games when out and about, but everyone always had time for a little Tetris. Tried and trusted, it's a swell bit of timeless gaming magic, and a bonified phenomenon of the world of video games, and a wonderful founding pillar or column if you will, of video gaming history! x
