  Tetris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tetris is a puzzle game invented by Alexey Pajitnov (last name sometimes spelled Pazhitnov) in 1985, while he was working for the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia.
Critics of Tetris Worlds said it was broken due to how a piece is able to hover over the bottom for as long as a player needs (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3736273641404566879andq=tetris); although, players of the game generally do not mind this feature because exploiting it will only hinder play, which is unfavorable to making a record time.
NES Tetris will level up in until the speed of level 29 (due to frame restrictions, pieces are not capable of dropping faster than this), but tool-assisted emulation will show that the level indicator will increase infinitely-- eventually glitching the meter so that it must use hex values.
