520    "It is, perhaps, the perfect video game. Simple yet 
       addictive, Tetris delivers an irresistible, unending 
       puzzle that has players hooked. 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."--
