It's the simple things in life you treasure

Tetris is 25 years old today.

It's true, Tetris has really hung on. Nobody plays Donkey Kong anymore. Minesweeper? Pfft. Only if you're stuck at work on a really shitty computer. Really old games sometimes enjoy a brief nostalgia fling, but Tetris has always been there, never flagging in popularity. I think it's the simplicity of the game

Oh man, I've been pretty much addicted to all of these games at some time in my life, either in a hand-held version or on the computer. And let's not forget Pac Man. I miss those games! I still play Minesweeper on MSN sometimes.

And I did know Tetris was Russian. The little tune it has really sounds Russian, too. here it is. :)

OMG, I feel SO old! I'm with ya on the geometry games. I do prefer the meditative game over the tension-filled ones. Probably the reason I like simulation games as well. Geesh, Tetris is 25! Please don't tell me how old the Infocom games are. *pops a Geritol*
