Watch Tetris' Creators Meet The Designer Of Threes
In honor of Ubisoft's upcoming Tetris Ultimate (which you can read a preview of here), E3 2014 was attended by the two men that made the original game happen. Also attending E3 2014 was the creator of the fantastic iOS game Threes, Asher Vollmer. Thanks to Ubisoft, we arranged for Tetris' designer, Alexey Pajitnov, and the founder of The Tetris Company, Henk Rogers, to meet up with Vollmer in a wide-ranging conversation. Keep in mind that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak considered Alexey Pajitnov too much of a genius to even speak to, so be sure to thank Asher Vollmer for participating in this video.
Watch the discussion below as the three developers discuss clones, the legacy of Tetris, and the power of randomness in game design.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
