News: More Than A Game
Posted 08 Feb 2004 at 13:56 by guest
BBC Four are set to screen a program that delves deep into the enthralling tale behind the almighty puzzle-title, Tetris. Head inside for more details.
It is time to book the remote it seems, as BBC Four will screen the story of Tetris- the hugely-addictive block-based puzzler- tomorrow night. Many people judge Tetris to be but a simple game, but an enthralling tale of conspiracies and million-pound dealings- revolving around communism and capitalism- lie underneath the surface of the puzzler. The tale follows the creation of the game by a "geeky" student- to the KGB's interest in this seemingly-simple game- to the multi-million pound fight to secure the rights to this addictive game. "Tetris: From Russia With Love" airs tomorrow night at 9:00 on BBC Four, and is a must-see for any gaming fan.
