Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The Tetris story.

This is an old BBC documentary on how the craze that is Tetris came to be. I can't recommend this highly enough. There's even a suicide in it. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6600940307313929454#

If its the one I saw a few years back its pretty good.
It went a bit into the whole tengen tetris story as well.
(the recalled NES tetris).
Offtopic but the tengen version is probably my favorite tetris ever , and miles ahead of the "official" BPS one on the NES.(and it was programmed by Ed "Gauntlet" Logg as well ).It was released and then pulled from shelves almost straight away , but turned up on every NESclone 99 in 1 cart for years after.
