Oh how I remember my beloved Tetris, I was completely HOOKED! It got to the stage that when I was trying to sleep I could still see those dropping shapes, it had become an addiction Laughing I did become a master at it eventually, but then had to leave it alone in order to have a restful nights sleep. It took a while for me to not see those falling shapes. I still love Tetris, and I think it deserves to be called a 'gaming icon'. Any other Tetris fans here?

"With its scratches and sticky brown beer stains, the "Tetris" arcade machine near the back of a Brooklyn bar called Barcade has seen better days. Which makes sense, given that the machine was made in the 1980s.

Even today, though, it's not hard to find 20- and 30-somethings plucking away at its ancient controls, flipping shapes made up of four connected squares and fitting them into orderly patterns as they descend, faster and faster as the game goes on."
