This Online Documentary Tells The Story Of Tetris
As one of the most popular and influential games of all time, Tetris has left a lasting impression on the gaming world. Its origin story is well-documented and legend at this point, but the details and background surrounding its creation are fascinating enough to have spawned multiple great documentaries.
The Story of Tetris, a new online documentary from Youtube channel Gaming Historian takes another crack at telling the tale of the world's greatest puzzle game. While many of us might know the story already, the video delves into a few details other tellings gloss over, making for another great story of how the relationship between Russia, The United States, between governments and corporations, and Alexey Pajitnov and his mother lead to a gaming masterpiece.
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.

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.
