Tetris
(
Russian
: Тетрис) is a
puzzle video game
originally designed and programmed by
Alexey Pajitnov
. It was created on June 6, 1984,
[1]
while he was working for the
Dorodnicyn Computing Centre
of the
Academy of Science of the USSR
in
Moscow
.
[2]
He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix "
tetra-
"—as all of the game's pieces (known as
Tetrominoes
) contain four segments—and
tennis
, Pajitnov's favorite sport.
Edit: I find it awkward that Google has Tetris on their main page and not D-Day.
