Excellent story of how the game Tetris came from humble Russian roots to spread across the world as one of the most popular games in video game history. I learned a lot about the video game industry of the early 80's and how software was developed for the many versions of computers that were available at the time. I think this is probably one of the few books that could make contract negotiations over international IP rights interesting.

A whole story behind one of the most pervasive pieces of pop culture. The book is a bit heavy handed with some of the history (this person held a piece of the rights for five seconds) but will be great for people who love the game as a whole. Full of fun tidbits of how Tetris has affected different areas.

I thought this would be more interesting, but wasn't finding the narratives (that of game designer Alexey Pajitnov and the Nintendo rep who expanded the game's reach) very compelling. It was OK, but not something I cared to continue reading.
