Time magazine weighs in on Tetris’ birthday, implying that it is by far the most lasting success of the Soviet Union. “Sputnik burned up in the atmosphere, Berlin is now one city,” Time writes, “but 25 years later, the
Soviet-designed Tetris remains one of the most popular and ubiquitous video

context, too, including how it nearly singlehandedly made the original Game Boy a success (with 35 million copies sold).
“I believe there is some basic psychological pleasure sensor that Tetris has found that other [games] don’t,” said Henk Rogers, the Dutch video-game designer who secured the console and handheld licensing rights for Nintendo in 1989, in a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. “The balance is so good, it feels like you can always go a little more.” If there’s another game that’s been available on nearly every platform, the world over, since its release, it doesn’t come to mind. If you figure its birth date to be 1984, instead of 1989 when Nintendo first licensed the rights to it, it might be the longest active franchise without any
