If there's one game everyone—and I mean almost literally everyone—has played, it's Tetris. It's on every digital device going. We all end up with at least one copy even if we don't remember buying it, the gaming equivalent of a Queen's Greatest Hits CD that somehow, some way ends up on your shelf. There are at least four different versions of it in the room I'm sitting in right now, and almost certainly as many in another.
Which made Tetris Forever, a collection of more than a dozen versions of Tetris out now on Steam from the '80s and '90s, sound a bit redundant to me. Tetris isn't gaming history; at least not in the traditional sense of being old and done with and needing to be preserved lest we all forget about it. The game is so big it's part of all of our lives. Tetris is vibrantly alive. I've already played several of the games contained in this collection, and I managed that just by existing in the '90s. Heck, I still own one of them on its original cartridge.
