Tetris
is a source of endless fascination not only for its notoriously compulsive gameplay, but for its unusual origin story.
The tale of how Alexey Pajitnov created a truly timeless puzzle game, and the legal battles over the rights to bring it from the Soviet Union to the rest of the world, has been told a few times and even inspired a fictionalised movie starring Taron Egerton. Now Digital Eclipse is taking its turn to tell the story using its excellent interactive documentary format, which takes you through the history of the game with text, images, video footage and playable games as they become relevant.
