Tetris


Watch it and see the various forms it took.


 Sabeen Mahmud wrote a marvellous piece about Tetris.
Here it is for the who haven't read it
(and for those who loved it)








In fact Sabeen even named her first cat 'Tetris'

Sab was thrilled when she got Tetris
Sadly Tetris died very early due to an inherited disease.
I was with Sab when it happened.
Sabeen was devastated.

(Tetris's brother died the next day at the house where she got Tetris)

The first coloured Tetris
After Tetris died many more versions came out.
Some were free, some were pirated.
Some even had more games built into it
that included shooting the shapes.


Now you even have Tetris on your Airplane Games.

The Start Screen
One of the 4 versions on the airplane game
Loads of fun
but not as much as the
THE FIRST COLOURED ONE


Had Sabeen been alive,
I would have given her this new one as a gift.

She would have loved it!

Yes. It's now on my iPhone 7
as a back cover.

There are 99 different games on it that
must be interesting
(including the shooting one)

But I am stuck on the Original Tetris game
on it and I adore it!


Thank you, Tetris, for coming back like this.
You are now on my iPhone forever.
