Tetris for MAME

Tetris is a CLASSIC; ranking with the likes of "Pac-man", "Donkey Kong" and "Tempest"; and is still one of the most popular games today. Inspired by a Pentominoes game he had bought earlier, Alexey Pajitnov creates Tetris on an Electronica 60 in June 1985 at the Moscow Academy of Science`s Computer Center. It is ported to the IBM PC by Vadim Gerasimov and starts spreading around Moscow. Pajitnov gets a small degree of fame for his program. Due to Soviet political structure at the time, the inventor, Alexey Pajitnov was not able to patent his game. This gave rise to many sundry Tetris clones for all manner of machines.
