Birthday of the "Tetris" - appeared the first computer version of this game
June 6, 1984
The history of the cult game "Tetris" began in 1984, and its author is the Soviet programmer Alexei Leonidovich Pajitnov. The first computer version of this game appeared on June 6, 1984, and today this date is considered the Birthday of "Tetris".
Pajitnov then worked at the Computer Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Moscow, where he dealt with problems of artificial intelligence and speech recognition, and often used puzzles to run ideas, one of which was the popular pentamino game (it consisted of five squares (pentomino from Greek penta "- five) and set the task of correctly arranging in the box geometric shapes). So, for example, in the journal Science and Life, since the 1960s, there was a permanent section devoted to the drawing up of figures from a set of pentamino, and plastic sets of pentamino could be found in stores.
And it was the game in the pentamino that prompted Pajitnov to create a new game, more exciting. He decided to automate the installation of pentamino in the given figures. But the computing power of the equipment of that time for spinning the pentamino was not enough, then the inventor made the figures more simple. And he came up with the main "highlight" of the game - that the figures fell, and the filled rows disappeared. Then the name of the new game "Tetris" was born, which originated from the merger of "tetramino" (games where all figures consist of four segments) and "tennis" (Pajitnov's favorite sport).
And for the first time a computer version of the game "Tetris", written on the computer "Electronics-60", was presented to Pajitnov's colleagues on June 6, For the IBM PC game was integrated 16-year-old schoolboy Vadim Gerasimov. Having copied the toy on floppy disks, Alexey and his comrades spread it on their research institute. And then the game spread all over Moscow.
A familiar electronic device for playing Tetris appeared on July 18, 1985. The game began to spread rapidly across the country, and soon all over the world, winning more and more fans, and as a result, there were many who wanted to redeem the rights to this game. Not surprisingly, in subsequent years, "Tetris" was involved in many judicial battles.
It all started with Robert Stein, an importer of software from Hungary, who got to know the game a few months after its creation. After the meeting with Pajitnov he agreed on a license to release the game, which, according to some sources, Alexey gave him. Hungarian programmers integrated Tetris for Apple II and Commodore 64, after which it became extremely popular in many countries around the world. So, in 1988, "Tetris" became the most sold computer game in England and the United States. And, of course, the game was interested in representatives of major global business, who wanted to redeem the rights to distribute the game. But disputes over the legality of the ownership of the rights to use and sell "Tetris" led to long litigation.
Nowadays there are a lot of variants of "Tetris", which can even be called differently. And, perhaps, there is no person in the world, among the owners of a computer or cell phone, which at least once did not play in such games.
