Play it long enough and you'll see those brightly colored geometric shapes everywhere. You'll see them in your dreams. Alexey Pajitnov had big ideas about games. In 1984, he created Tetris in his spare time while developing software for the Soviet government. Once Tetris emerged from behind the Iron Curtain, it was an instant hit. Nintendo, Atari, Sega--game developers big and small all wanted Tetris. A bidding war was sparked, followed by clandestine trips to Moscow, backroom deals, innumerable miscommunications, and outright theft. In this graphic novel, New York Times--bestselling author Box Brown untangles this complex history and delves deep into the role games play in art, culture, and commerce. For the first time and in unparalleled detail, Tetris: The Games People Play tells the true story of the world's most popular video game."--Page [2] of cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 794.8 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 794.8 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 794.8 Br Graphic Format Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 794.8 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 794.8 Br Graphic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 794.8 Br   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Fiction Brown Graphic Novel Checked In Add Copy to MyList
