       Serious question to the TETRIS experts in the retro gaming community:Both of these versions of Tetris for the IBM-PC are from 1986. At least, that's what it says. But, which one is the "original"? The first? The real version? At least, for the IBM-PC? The DOS file dates are complete nonsense. I'd be grateful if anyone could explain!(Afaik, Tetris was first programmed on a Soviet Electronika 60.)#Tetris #80s #Gaming #RetroGaming #Retro #IBMPC #DOS #SovietUnion

       @dfx_tech the first version is the Elektronika version. These are Vadim Gerasimov's ports, and other things are just what they are - revisions. It's not like these were commercial releases. Pajitnov and Gerasimov iterated on them a bunch, hence multiple revisions.
