The game was created by a 29-year-old Russian programmer called Alexey Pajitnov, who said he knew he had devised a hit game when he could not stop playing it. Now, a quarter of a century later, the game has sold more than 70 million copies around the world and is still going strong. Tetris is so ingrained in popular culture that it’s inspired everything from clothing to jewellery, bricks, ice cube trays, children's cushions...

Tetris is popular because it has been proven to reduce stress and enhance brain power. The most notable was a UK study showed Tetris helped people that were victims of trauma reduce flashbacks.
As a documentary-article clearly points out, today's video games spend millions and must use violence and marketing to achieve even a percentage of what Tetris has accomplished.
It's amazing how many people playing now. Must see, http://tinyurl.com/r97xna
