"From Russia with Fun!" - slogan for Tetris on the GameBoy

On today's episode, we're talking TETRIS! The addicting puzzle game first created by Russian programmer, Alexey Pajitnov, which debuted to western audiences as a pack-in game with Nintendo's GameBoy! The club discusses the music, the history behind the game, our nostalgia for it, the dozens of spin offs / copy cats, and of course the all new movie starring Taron Egerton as Henk Rogers. (Now available on Apple Plus!)
