FUN FACTS ABOUT TETRIS. After you've played these free Tetris games online, check out this Tetris trivia. Here are some interesting facts about Tetris from Wikipedia:

It was designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov, a computer engineer in Moscow, on June 6, 1984.

The name "Tetris" derives from the Greek "tetra-" meaning four segments plus "tennis", Pajitnov's favorite game.

Pajitnov's original version for the Elektronika 60 terminal computer used green brackets to represent the blocks.

By 1988, Pajitnov had granted his rights to the game to the Soviet Government. These rights reverted to Pajitnov in 1996.

Electronic Gaming Monthly's 100th issue ranked Tetris as the Greatest Game of All Time.

The shapes in Tetris are called "tetrominoes".

Music A in the Game Boy version is widely recognized as the Tetris theme song. It is an instrumental arrangement of a Russian folk tune called "Korobeiniki".

Korobeiniki were peddlers with trays who sold men's clothing, fabric, books, and other small items in pre-revolutionary Russia.
