Secret to Success: Tetris is probably the most universal game ever created. It's been ported to more systems than any game ever made, and it's one of the few games that reaches all kinds of people: men, women, children, teens, adults. Why? Because the game takes about 10 seconds to learn and a lot longer to master. In a way, it's not just putting blocks together, it's solving a problem, turning chaos into order. It's part mind game, part fast reflex. If we're talking best overall game in terms of concept, this game is #1 hands down.

Memorable Moments: The first time I played Tetris, like many people, was on the Gameboy. At that time, Tetris was huge, and linking up with a friend to compete was the only way to really play the game. The big challenge on the Gameboy though was beating level 9-5. If you could do that, you were the master. Unfortunately, I was only able to do it once.
