I still play Tetris all the time, and is one of the best-selling games of all time. Nostalgia is good!

I second that. The first video game system my parents would let me own when I was a kid was the original Gameboy, and I think I wore my thumbs to the bone playing Tetris. I still like to fire it up every now and then -- Tetris definitely stands the test of time!

Me too - the best version is Tetris DS, which is basically Tetris plus Super Mario Kart for the DS Lite. It's even better when you play with 4 people and use items (e.g., shells and stars).

Tetris is cool and all, but shouldn't the June 6th logo pertain to D-Day? You know, the day that the US and British stormed Normandy and saved Europe from Hitler? I know Tetris is a fun game and has a big following, but come on.

Don't forget the Canadians...we did represent about 9% of those involved in the landing. :-)

D-Day and Tetris are great, but you're all missing the big picture. June 6th is my birthday! D= I expect a cake by noon tomorrow.
Here is a podcast interview with the creator of Tetris... http://bit.ly/uhNll The interview starts about 1/4 way through. I found this on http://thynews.com

It is 5am eastern June 6th, I see it. I got it about 3-4 am as I was getting home.

I was introduced to Tetris on the Gameboy in 1989. Nintendo was a genius to get Alexey Pajitnov's brilliant puzzle! Tetris is right up there with Pac-Man in my book. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TETRIS AND MANY MORE CENTURIES!

Too bad Google doesn't love the fact that they're Americans, and free.
Tetris is great, and it is wonderful that Google has recognized this! Tetris is not dead, and is advancing greatly!

um... didn't the liberation of europe started on this day long ago when our grandfathers charged through beaches watching their friends get cut down by machine gun fire. More than a hundred thousand men reached Normandy where they would liberate Paris only weeks later. Thousands of paratroopers landed in forests surrounded by the enemy and did so as volunteers. Quite frankly, that was the biggest amphibious invasion in modern history. Americans, British, French, and even Canadians risked their lives. Tetris.... that is pathetic.

My son (when he was just a bit younger), loved Tetris! He had a Tetris game and played non stop. Always had plenty of the other games (such as the gameboy unit), but always went back to Tetris.

I'm so glad we could remember Tetris on this day...rather than the thousands of people who died fighting tyranny on the beaches of Normandy 65 years ago. I mean...who cares about THAT! Obviously some left-wing, anti-America, anti-freedom loonies at Google don't, duh!

not EVERYTHING that everyone does on june 6 has to be about d-day. in addition to enjoying this cute logo, i watched the d-day ceremony on tv and thought a lot about those sacrifices. you don't have to scream conspiracy and claim that google (or anyone who enjoyed the logo) is a bunch of "anti-america, anti-freedom loonies." relax.

Blimey! has it been that long, I remember my first encounter with Tetris.
It wasn't love at first sight but it did become a long lasting relationship.
Even now from time to time I can't resist the draw of Tetris when I want to kill some time.

Dang! I didn't get to see the Google's birthday greeting logo yesterday. Anyway, happy birthday Tetris. Thank you for bringing good memories.

What's funny, is that I didn't see it until this morning when I opened up my laptop from sleep and reopened Flock... which saved everything, of course x3... and I was about to go to another website and then quickly hit the back button. "WHAT WAS THAT? O_o" And then I... heh, I googled "tetris google" to see what it was all about.

I could still recall coming to school, staring at the board and seeing Tetris blocks falling down.

OK. So Tetris' birthday is on the same day as D-Day. Yes, D-Day is the more historically significant day... Yet, do we really want to always remember war? What's the big deal? Each and every day of the year, -something- significant happened, and whether or not it's as significant as D-Day doesn't mean that it need not be recognized. Quite honestly, Tetris is a great sign of -technology.- Just think, 25 years later, most of us still play the game. Just about everyone knows what it is, at the very least. It proves to us that not everything becomes obsolete, which is a comfort to know in the quickly paced global economy of today.
D-Day is significant, but we hear of it on a very regular basis. Why not lighten up? Why not spend a day frivolously? In the same sense that potheads everywhere spark up on 4/20, which is Hitler's birthday. In the same way we prepare for easter egg hunts on a Holy Day. Ask for candy on Hallowe'en, traditionally a holiday to -scare off evil spirits.-
Quit your whining. Tetris is a game. D-Day is a day in world history. As a political science major, I understand the importance of remembering history (lest we repeat it), but if we do nothing but dwell then we can never advance forward. Have a little fun!

Trivial social-politics over functionality? Fickle much?
