June 6th, 1984 to be exact - Alexey Pajitnov created a simple puzzle video game where you moved blocks around (called tetrominoes) to create horizontal lines of blocks to eliminate rows and gain points. Its popular name is Tetris Game and Its is 25 years ago.

This classic Tetris Game has been a time-wasting staple for millions of people worldwide. And, as of June 6th, Tetris Game it will become 25 years old. We weren’t reminded of this momentous occasion by our video game knowledge, though. We were reminded by Google.

Before Tetris became a game that’s available in the internet and cellphones, the game actually started out in arcades and home entertainment systems. Not long this game became a cheap handheld device which was actually a fad during the 90s – during that time I was one of those high school students who enjoyed such games. Believe me or not, even my grandmother learned to play that gadget to pass out time.

Although Tetris isn’t something that you’d see in game consoles anymore, I still enjoy a full game of Tetris whenever I encounter this game online. I am not playing this game as much as I do in high school, but I still love to pass out time or de-stress with this simple game. Unlike that handheld game I played a decade ago, online Tetris games come in different designs and themes and sometimes the game is accompanied by one or more goals to make it challenging.

Don't be surprised to see Google logos in Tetris designs as one of the makers of the game, Vadim Gerasimov, works in Google Australia.
