Tetris

A legendary puzzle video game developed by Soviet programmer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. Tetris is one of the most recognizable and influential games in video game history, laying the foundation for the puzzle genre. The gameplay involves maneuvering falling shapes (tetrominoes), which players must strategically arrange to form complete horizontal lines, earning points as the lines disappear. The game features a simple yet addictive mechanic that demands quick thinking, strategic planning, and fast reflexes. Due to its accessibility and engaging nature, Tetris has been ported to numerous platforms and remains widely popular decades after its release.
