Here's a few words from Nick:

 

 Tetris is the best-selling video game of ALL TIME, but it’s journey from an outdated Russian computer lab to being the first game in outer space wasn’t an easy one. Miscommunications, assumptions, and intellectual property right sales by people that didn’t even own them? Secret trips to Moscow? Par for the course in the story of the most important game of all time. Join us on the journey of Tetris.
