Tetris

It started on some huge room-filling monstrosity in the USSR, made its way through the Iron Curtain to the West, jumped up to arcade level, and now Tetris, the smash puzzle game, finally appears on the Game Boy.

A remarkably simple concept, that of positioning different shaped blocks so that they make complete lines, remains as furiously addictive on this handheld as it is in its various other forms.

Definitely one to get your porky digits round.

Game Boy

Tetris has come a long way since its conception in Russia, and even now retains its hellishly addictive qualities. Buy it... or feel very silly.
