Most people have come to know Tetris through hours of playing on the Game Boy.  But the real hero is a one Alexey Pajitnov — a Russian genius with too much time on his hands and an affinity with beards.

For the Tetris novice: shaped blocks fall into a pit where you must arrange them so they fit neatly — a sort of juggling in one direction.  The more blocks you can place into a horizontal line simultaneously, the more you score.

And remember to take a break every few hours.

Controls:

Left - Move shape left Right - Move shape right Down - Faster drop X  or - Rotate clockwise Z  - Rotate counter-clockwise P  - Pause/unpause game Q  - Quit game
