Friday, 06 June 2014 | by Pat's Picks

Tetris, the game where players stack blocks of seven different shapes, has turned 30 years old. Invented by a Soviet scientist in 1984, it exploded in popularity when it was developed for the Nintendo Gameboy in 1989. In the San Francisco Chronicle, Peter Hartlaub calls Tetris “the greatest and most influential time suck of my generation.”
