Tetris(NES)!

Tetris actually has a much more interesting backstory then most people think; the first iteration was born in 1984 to one Alexy Pajitnov, a software engineer at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. It was inspired by a puzzle game called "pentominoes", from which Alexy Pajitnov made changes to suit his vision, which was originally created with no intention of profit. What followed the creation of the game was a complex mess of rights and licensing; at the time of its release on the NES, they were still being intensely fought over.
