Tetris

One of the greatest puzzle games ever created, invented by Soviet programmer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 and later licensed by Nintendo for a landmark NES release. Players rotate and position seven distinct tetrominoes as they fall from above, clearing lines by filling complete rows to score points. As the stages progress, pieces fall faster and faster, placing real demands on reaction speed and spatial judgment. The NES version is remembered for its iconic 8-bit soundtrack, and the game as a whole stands as a hall-of-fame title that shaped an entire generation of players.
