Maybe it's nostalgia, but those games are still killer to this day. Tetris happens to still be my wife's favorite video game, and I have fond memories of playing it for hours on the Nintendo as a kid. Actually, I have more memories of my mom fighting with it than I do actually playing it myself! Games like Tetris are classics, timeless... they're not going anywhere any time soon.

So he did get something out of it eventually, he just didn't get anything directly from the game. I heard that the creator is now working in the US for the MSN games site.

The most notable was a UK study showed Tetris helped people that were victims of trauma reduce flashbacks. As a documentary-article clearly points out, today's video games spend millions and must use violence and marketing to achieve even a percentage of what Tetris has accomplished. It's amazing how many people playing now. Tetris is popular because it has been proven to reduce stress and enhance brain power.
