Tetris reigns above all other games that changed the world simply because of its household name status. Gamers and non-gamers alike know it and revere it. But how did it get to this point? In many ways, Tetris is an outlier. It stands unique as a game with simple-yet-deep gameplay that has endured a shelf life unmatched by any other video game. Some would even consider it to be the Chess or Go of video games.
