Happy Birthday Tetris!
[Drunk Russian Bastard turns 25]
This is the version of Tetris that most of us played. Tetris on the NES has a fascinating history, Atari released a version of Tetris under the label Tengen, and Nintendo released their version (pictured above) shortly after that. Nintendo won a lawsuit on November 13th 1989 stating that Nintendo owned the rights to Tetris.

[Tengen Tetris for the NES]
"Anyone you talk to will certainly say that the best Tetris was the two-player Tetris that came out on Nintendo and was published by Tengen. Without a doubt it was the best Tetris. " -Ted Hoff, former senior vice president of Sales and Marketing: Atari Games Corportation
-Taken from the Ultimate History of Video Games by Stephen Kent
