Tetris (NES)

Tetris is a classic tile-matching video game originally created by Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. The game quickly rose to fame and became a cultural phenomenon, eventually securing its spot on Nintendo's platforms during the late 1980s. In 1996, the rights to Tetris were returned to Alexey Pajitnov, who, along with Henk Rogers, founded The Tetris Company to manage the game’s licensing.

How to Play Tetris:

1. Objective: The goal of Tetris is to complete horizontal lines by arranging falling tetrominoes—shapes made up of four blocks—that descend into the playing field.

2. Controls: Players can move the tetrominoes left, right, or rotate them clockwise or counterclockwise to fit them into the best possible position.

3. Clearing Lines: When a complete horizontal line is formed by stacking tetrominoes, it disappears, earning the player points. The more lines cleared at once, the higher the score.

4. Game Progression: As lines are cleared, new tetrominoes fall faster and the challenge increases. The game ends when the playing field is completely filled with tetrominoes, leaving no more space for new shapes.

Tips for Success:

• Focus on clearing multiple lines at once for a higher score.
• Plan your moves ahead to avoid stacking tetrominoes in a way that makes clearing lines difficult.
• Use rotation wisely to fit pieces into tight spaces efficiently.

Tetris remains one of the most beloved and influential games in gaming history, thanks to its simple yet challenging gameplay.
