Viral Tetris
It is impossible not to place this wonderful video, quite originally embodying one of the oldest computer games.
Its author is Swede Guillaume Reymond, who in his Game Over project doesn’t get bogged down in any way, placing people in the audience in a different way and then mounting funny videos on the subject of computer mini-games. This video has become truly viral: at the moment it has already been viewed more than two million times and left 13.5 thousand comments for it.
Many people know that the wonderful game "Tetris" was invented in Russia. Until now, it remains one of the few domestic technological innovations that have received worldwide fame. Its author is Alexey Pajitnov , a legendary Soviet programmer. Once in 1986, he came to work (to the computer center of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and, spinning the cubes of a children's puzzle in his hands, he suddenly came up with the idea of a computer game in which various pieces are folded into a glass. The programmed version of the first Tetris took less than three kilobytes. And the first time, Alexey, instead of modifying and developing his offspring, played it non-stop, like a child.

Subsequently, the game became popular all over the world, but, paradoxically, Pajitnov did not become a multimillionaire: everything that programmers did in the USSR belonged to the state. Therefore, when Tetris was sold to the West, he was forced to give up the rights to it for ten years. Then Alexey emigrated to America, where until 2005 he worked at Microsoft. For all the time, he participated in the creation of several games on the PC and Xbox, including the notorious Pandora's Box , on the box of which the inscription “From the creator of Tetris, Alexey Pajitnov!” Stands proudly.
