Gaming Target looks back at the first 25 years of Tetris including it's beginnings in Soviet Russia, how the series has evolved, how it has moved into the wider consciousness of the world and where it's going.

From the article:

"Alexey Pajitnov was just 29 years old when he was working for the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1984. In that year, on June 6, he completed development on the first edition of Tetris. Yes, the puzzle game that has invaded our dreams and is built using nothing more than seven unique shapes made up of four blocks (officially called tetrads or tetriminos) turns 25 years old today."
