Players must rotate and align falling blocks (tetrominoes) to complete horizontal lines, which disappear to make room for more pieces. As the speed increases, so does the intensity, creating an endlessly addictive challenge that rewards quick thinking and spatial awareness. Whether you're aiming for a high score or just clearing lines, Tetris is as timeless as it is challenging. Gameplay Features Classic falling-block gameplay with infinite replay value. Two game modes: endless scoring (Type A) and puzzle clearing (Type B). Sharp controls and clean visual design for pure gameplay focus. Iconic 8-bit music, including a version of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” Gradual speed increases that escalate tension and test endurance. Historical Trivia or Fun Fact Tetris for NES was developed and published by Nintendo in 1989 after a major licensing dispute with Tengen, who had released their own version earlier that year. Nintendo’s legal win made their version the official one on consoles — and it went on to sell millions. Tetris also helped prove that puzzle games could achieve massive commercial success and was instrumental in popularizing the Game Boy, where it became the bundled launch title.
