The Purpose of Movies with Video Games


I think the purpose of having complimenting movies with tvideo games is to make more money. Essentially, if a child plays a video game and they really like it. It is very likely that they will go see the movie. And some people may even buy th movie because it helps them with the game. By knowing what happened in the movie they can get through the boards faster and reach higher levels. This is just my theory.

History of Tetris
  • In June 1985, Alexey Pajitnov creates Tetris on an Electroncia 60 at the Moscow Academy of Science's Computer Center
  • He sent it to IMB PC by Vadim Gerasimov.
  • In July, 1986, Pajitnov sells PC version to Microsoft except arcade/ handheld version. 
  • In January 1988, Tetris is released for all home computers.
  • In 1987, Tetris is launched in PCs in North America and Europe, this was the first attempt at expansion.
  • In 1992, Scientific research suggests that Tetris can make the brain more efficient. Later on in 2006, science also proved it to have thicken the cerebral cortex.
