Tetris (Russian: Тетрис [ˈtɛtrʲɪs] is a tile-matching puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Soviet Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 for the Electronika 60. The game has been published by several companies over time, most prominently during a war for the appropriation of the game's rights in the late 1980s. After a significant period of publication by Nintendo, the rights of the game reverted to Pajitnov in 1996, who co-founded The Tetris Company with Henk Rogers to manage licensing for Tetris.
