Tetris has had too many variants to count during its lifetime, but the latest installment of the series is unlike any of them.
Tetris Forever is a playable documentary from Digital Eclipse , the team behind this year’s Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, which includes several classic games. It’s not meant to be an exhaustive collection bringing together every game in the series. Rather, it’s an interactive history lesson filled with archival material, original interviews, and a selection of games that tell its story.
Recommended Videos Let’s do the Time Warp again If you’ve played The Making of Karateka or Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story, you should know what to expect with Tetris Forever. The project is laid out into five chapters, each one containing an interactive timeline. If you follow that from start to finish, you’ll get a full history lesson on Alexey Pajitnov and how Tetris came to be. The project doesn’t just tell that now familiar story, though.
That’s all exciting for game historians, but the meat of the package is in its included games. It’s not a massive library, but it does give a nice sample of all the ways the Tetris formula was turned inside out early in its life. That’s the exact philosophy that prompted Digital Eclipse to create its own original game, Tetris Time Warp.
The catch is that the game will also play as it did in that era, so I may suddenly lose the ability to hold blocks during that period. It’s meant to directly show players how much Tetris has changed over the years, with subtle mechanics changing the entire game. That comes into play even more in the multiplayer mode included here. When I get a warp piece, I actually send my opponent back in time instead.
