Tetris - From Russia With Love

Posted by simoniker on from the suitable-icon dept.

basilpronoun writes "BBC News has an article about seminal puzzle game Tetris and its inventor Alexey Pajitnov, timed to coincide with further UK screenings of the documentary 'Tetris - From Russia With Love'. There's also an interview with documentary director Magnus Temple in which he comments on Pajitnov: 'He had to be persuaded to get involved. You can imagine what it's like. He invents a game almost 20 years ago and it's the only thing people want to talk to him about even though he's still a professional games designer'."

      It takes guts to say, on slashdot, that your mom got hocked.

      Regardless of what it means.

    Yeah, but what does he say about Tetris?

    I've always liked Tetris - The Spy Who Loved Me better. I think we can all agree that Roger Moore was the best Tetris.
