I recently started playing Tetris again (since there is a sweet app for your phone) and have been blown away how fast I was addicted... Again... 30 years later!!Couple facts you may not have known about Tetris:
- With over 145 million copies sold, Tetris is the #1 selling video game of ALL TIME!!
- It was thought up by a programmer who was just bored at work.
- It's name comes from two words: Tetra (the Greek word for four, which is how many blocks are in each puzzle piece) and Tennis (the programmers favorite sport).
- Originally purchased by an American for a very small amount (original "contract" written on a napkin), Nintendo had to return and purchase the rights again for wide-release on the Gameboy in 1984.
Here is an old post revisited (found it on my Xanga page... You heard me, XANGA)!!
Top 10 Things I learned about life... Playing Tetris
10) It pays to be neat. If you're playing it right, there's a place for everything (and everybody...no matter what shape)!!
9) If you slack off and get behind, it's awfully hard to work your way out of it!!
8) Planning ahead is a real good idea!!
7) You don't always get what you want, but you have to deal with whatever you get!!
6) If you practice, you'll get better!!
5) Cursing doesn't help!!
4) If you make a mistake, fast fingers and clever thinking will maybe get you out of it, but it's best to do it right the first time!!
3) Too much of anything is rarely a good thing!!
2) Life gets a lot easier if you keep an eye out for what's coming next!!
