According to google Tetris is 25 years old,if you want to play on line try here http://www.freetetris.org/welcome.html

If you didn't know google's name was as a result of the misspelling of the word googol,which is 10 to the power of 100.

Good factoid, Steve!

I'll add that to the database for next time I play Trivial Pursuits.

I know someone else who'd like that one, Rik.

Rik · Jun 06, 2009, 11:00:37

I wonder who?

Simon · Jun 06, 2009, 12:07:13

I've just crashed his AFs with it.

Rik · Jun 06, 2009, 12:17:23

I noticed.

Tetris is such a classic. I remember getting a Game Boy many, many years ago and just playing it non stop!

Blimey, it's 25 years ago I bought my first Game Boy and got totally addicted to Tetris.

My interest in Tetris is minimal because I've only ever bought it for the Game Boy, SNES, Dreamcast, Game Boy Colour, PS1, N64, PS2, GameCube, DS and virtually every mobile phone I've ever owned - not forgetting the Mac and Windows versions...

Myself and Sprog the Elder are Tetris equals, so head-to-heads lasting more than four hours weren't that uncommon before she went to Uni.

Tetris is gaming perfection.

Not that I care though...
