A Look At The History Of Tetris

If you’ve got some spare time to kill, here’s a fantastic look back at the history behind one of the most iconic games ever made.

The latest episode of Norman Caruso’s Gaming Historian channel picks apart the history of Tetris. It’s basically a feature-length story, spanning almost a full hour. And while the history of Tetris has been told in multiple places before, Caruso’s video adds a lot of illustrations to fill in the blanks.

It’s perhaps one of the most exhaustive documentaries into the history of Tetris, covering all the major players responsible for the game’s creation and its port to Western audiences. It’s well worth the watch, especially for those unfamiliar with the characters and the legal drama that went on behind the scenes.
