Simple yes, boring, never! Tetris turns 25 this week!

The puzzle game Tetris that captured everyone’s attention when it came to the US from Russia is celebrating its 25th birthday. The first version of the game was launched on June 6 1984.  GeekDad over at CNET says it is the greatest video game ever made - think old school like Monopoly being the greatest board game ever. Tetris has sold over 125 million copies on every game system made and has even been played on the side of a skyscraper. (h/t Time Magazine).

If you have never tried Tetris here is a free online Tetris game. Have fun and remember, just because a video game doesn’t have HD graphics and a crazy soundtrack, it can be fun, challenging, and make billions of people smile for trillions of hours.
