Tetris: From Russia With Love by Matt on December 2, 2006 @ 11:45 PM

I came across this BBC documentary the other day regarding the origins of Tetris. I found it to be an exposing view of the somewhat shady political and economical dealings that went on behind the scenes of one of the most successful video games of all time. From the Google Video description:

    A hard to find documentary about Tetris and its creator Alexey Pajitnov. Also covers the rivalaries between Nintendo and Atari and the absurdities of buying copyrights for software from a country that doesn't believe in property, much less intellectual property. Ultimately, a great documentary about a very important game.

This clocks in at just under an hour in length, so get comfortable, close your door, plug in the headphones, and off you go.

In Soviet Russia, Tetris plays you!
