Tetris

1 Conversation

A diabolical mind control device created by the evil genius Dr. Alexey Pajitnov (well, he’s not really a doctor, and doesn’t call himself one, it’s just for effect). It involves dropping figures composed of four squares (tetrads) into an open field, hoping to form a complete line accross, which then vanishes and awards you points. Play it for five minuets, and you'll understand.
Over a decade ago, Tetris first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System (video games). A year later, it was transferred to the Nintendo Game Boy,(portible video games), where it is still played today. Some would say Tetris is not a mind control device, because the only impulse it generates in it’s players is to play it more, and buy another copy. However, a new version for the Nintendo 64 (really good video games) is coming out, and this will contain the world-dominating program. In a couple of months, you’ll see. I mean, It’s an 8bit game on an 128bit cartridge (that's like a drop of water filling an otherwise empty pool). There’s something else there (for example, a whale.)
I have nothing against Mr. Pajitnov, and would like very much to rule the world myself.
And it' a great game.
