About This Game

This version was created after a complex legal battle over Tetris rights, with Nintendo securing the console rights. It was bundled with the NES system during the Game Boy era, creating unprecedented market penetration.

The game features the famous 'Korobeiniki' theme (Type A music) which became synonymous with Tetris worldwide. The Type B music uses Bach's Prelude in C Minor.

Tetris on NES established many conventions for future versions, including the scoring system, rotation mechanics, and the 'Next Piece' preview. It remains a benchmark for puzzle game design decades later.
