teh.f4ll3n writes "25 years ago a Russian (Soviet) researcher thought of one of the world's most popular games. It is now that we celebrate its 25th anniversary. 'Twenty-five years ago, inside the bowels of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow, a young artificial intelligence researcher received his first desktop computer — the Soviet-built Elektronika 60, a copy of an American minicomputer called a PDP-11 — and began writing programs for it.'http://games.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=09/06/02/1514256 (http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/06/02/1514256/Tetris-Turns-25?from=rss)

Is it me, or does Servbot's memory bank have a bad sector?

Anyway I love Tetris on the NES. So far, my high score has been right at about 350,000. As far as Tetris scores go, I don't exactly know where it stands, but I'm sure there are many high scores above mine. Here's an article on Yahoo about it too.
