Mobile Tetris|
 |
Tetris is a well-known and popular game, which deserves to be called
classical. The rules are fairly simple: you need to place falling blocks
(composed of four squares) of different forms as compact as possible,
and the lines which are completely filled disappear clearing the place
and bringing points. The more lines you remove at once the more points
you get.
In different realizations of this game the speed of the falling blocks
can be constant or depending on the score or current level. On this
page you can

Almost all the games found in the world wide web are suffering
from being microscopical, moreover, the greater part of the
screen is usually given for the minor information.
The limited number of colors, which are sometimes strictly
bound to the form of the figure, is a common feature
inherent almost to all tetris-clones. In our version "Mobile Tetris"
we tried to get rid of most common problems of other versions:
the game field takes the greater part of the screen, being adjusted
to the resolution of the screen of your handheld, there is a great variety
of vivid colors independent of the form, a very smooth increasing of
the game speed after completing each full row, makes the game more dynamic. Though why should we
tell you about it when you can see it yourself:
Play now!

The legend of Russian game programmers is, certainly, Alexey Pazhitnov,
the author of the Tetris. The legend says, that the ordinary Russian
programmer has created ingenious game which has spreaded all over the world,
having been copied in millions, but brought the founder not a stiver.
It would be wrong to say that it is not true. Really: as well tetris
has become unbelievably popular, as Pazhitnov has not completely received
his profit. Moreover, the history of tetris is full of peculiarities
which few people know about.
A research assistant of computer center of Russian Academy of Sciences
Alexey Pazhitnov wrote from time to time simple games. As it often
happens, tetris was born accidently - Alexey was programming the
classical puzzle Pentamino, where the falling figures had to rotate
around its center of gravity. However, Electronika-60 had not enough
performance for computations of this kind, and the decision
was made to simplify the original Pentaminos - to remove the fifth
element from each block. And tetris was born - the program written in
two weeks in russian national programming language Pascal.
A sixteen years old schoolboy Vadim Gerasimov ported the game to PC,
and it starts spreading around Moscow, and then in Russia.
In a year, the PC version makes its way to Budapest, Hungary, where it is
ported to the Apple II and Commodore 64 by Hungarian programmers.
These versions catch the eye of Robert Stein, president of the
British software house Andromeda. He plans to get the rights to
the PC version from Pazhitnov directly, and to get the other
versions from the Hungarian programmers. Even before Stein gets
in touch with Pazhitnov or the Academy, he sells all the rights
to Tetris (except for arcade and handheld versions) to Mirrorsoft
UK and its USA affiliate, Spectrum Holobyte, owned by Robert
Maxwell's Pergamon Foundation.
