NP-completeness Several of the subproblems of Tetris have been stated to be NP-complete.
I couldn't figure out how to fix it while keeping the same look, and didn't want to bother rewriting. In both cases the problem is the right-paren after the URL. There are a couple of broken links in the article: ) and. Any evidence for the "Minesweeper" assertion? I would guess that there are more Asteroids clones than Minesweeper. was the home console & computer maker, while Atari Games is the arcade game division that was split off in 1984.)
Tengen was not blatantly ignoring Nintendo's Tetris license, they had licensed the rights to do the NES console port from Atari Games.Arcade rights were NOT assigned to Nintendo they were granted home game console rights.'Elorg' was a soviet-owned business, and was not formed by Pajitnov.But these are the points that I believe need to corrected: There are many glaring errors in this article regarding the history of Tetris, however I do not presently have access to the exact details to make the appropriate corrections (my copy of Game Over is still boxed up). There are some good 3D tetris variants out there. I also found Hatris, Facetris, Welltris, and Wordtris to be lame. Also, I don't see how Minesweeper is a Tetris clone. This article doesn't seem very NPOV, though I don't know how to fix it. Uo Poko (see mame.dk for this and many others) There are also games that are in the tetris family, but not strictly tetris.

Obviously Alexey Pajitnov lost his claim to ownership of the game long before it became popular, so I would say there is no "one true" form. If anything I would suggest that standalone arcade version of tetris would be a better candidate, but that's clearly open to debate. Also it seems odd and again not very neutral to suggest that the Game Boy version of tetris is the "one true form." Certainly it was very popular and this notion may exist among those who spent a lot of time on their Game Boys in childhood, but it seems odd to call this one instance of Tetris (among thousands) the "One True" form. But I would expect any game by the name of "Tetris" to go by the original tetris rules. These "improvements" are therefore better termed variants-whether they are considered superior is a matter of taste.
The problem is, the original game by the name of Tetris and therefore every subsequent close was defined to simply move higher levels down after levels are cleared. Where it talks about gravity it says "Many versions of Tetris implement a naïve approximate gravity algorithm that always moves blocks down by a distance equal to exactly the height of the cleared rows below it," and then goes on to say that "newer" versions of the game have an "improved" flood-fill type gravity that forces blocks to fall down.
