I saw that ep of Gaming Historian too! Then I got a chance to see an advanced screening of the Tetris movie last week - it was really fun! Highly recommend!
That's not irony and the real story had little to do with the movie. The movie had a car chase scene whereas that never happened in real life. I gave the Gaming Historian's video on Tetris 8/10 and the Tetris movie 6/10.
I got to see an advanced screening of Tetris last week. After watching the Gaming Historian's episode on Tetris, I was really excited for this movie, and it did not disappoint! It was a lot of fun!
And…. Back in the day- I heard Tetris was a game they used to train USSR Astronauts. Also- I had a year long Tetris battle with an arch enemy. I won. Love the early 90’s. My time to shine…. At Tetris. And Doom.
My former father in law (70+ at this time) was so obsessed with Tetris, that he stolen my sons Gameboy right before we left for homecity, after spending holidays at his house. My son was destroyed, cause he played Pokemon games at this time too. So we got to buy a new one. He then pretended to find the Gameboy left behind by my son, but i myself packed it in the luggage before leaving. So it was clear he was lying. But as a passionate gamer of the first hour i forgave him.
They should've redone that clip and made it so they were multiple pieces trying to fit together and then the 4 long just comes in with a "look". Just drops right in on the right side and clears 4 rows, and just weird sounds follow. Sounds more up Conan's alley though cause it would take like 5 minutes lol
You know florida republicans are going to ban TETRIS now. And No-wonder everyone said to wait for a line to "Fit It" into the "Gap" that seems to be the perfect size to get the most "points" as possible😘😇
If they're talking about Tetris the game I was doing demos for EA Sports version. Lengthy court battles over copyright and getting software companies to end pirates... The inventor defected to Hawaii... Not sure if this is the same story.
The movie Tetris had little to do with the real story of how Tetris came to the US. It was an overblown exaggerated Hollywood movie with a car chase scene. If you want the real story watch THe Gaming Historian's story of Tetris.
