Tetris, the classic computer game in which players rotate a series of falling block shapes to make them interlock at the bottom of the screen, celebrates its 25th anniversary this week
这款游戏是由一个29岁的俄罗斯程序员阿列克谢·帕基特诺夫制作的 ，他说，当他自己玩起这款游戏就爱不释手的时候，他知道自己制做了一款火爆的游戏。如今，四分之一个世纪后，该游戏在世界各地已经售出超过7000万张拷贝，然而势头依然强劲。
The game was created by a 29-year-old Russian programmer called Alexey Pajitnov, who said he knew he had devised a hit game when he could not stop playing it. Now, a quarter of a century later, the game has sold more than 70 million copies around the world and is still going strong作者: cnnas 时间: 2009-6-3 11:15

It is, or has been, available on almost every gaming platform, including Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple IIgs, Atari ST, Commodore 64, NES, WonderSwan Color, and the ZX Spectrum but despite that Mr Pajitnov made little money from the game until 1996 when the rights to it reverted to him from the Soviet state作者: cnnas 时间: 2009-6-3 11:17
