Тест по , верно, неверно или не сказано. , tetris is a computer game invented in 1984 by the russian mathematician and con pajitnov. it is one of the most popular and easily-recognisable video games in the world. the name a combination of the greek word'tetra, which means four (because all the coloured blocks in the game consist of four squares, joined in different ways to make various shapes), and pajitnov's favourite sport, t computer engineer alexey the game itself seems quite simple at first sight. different shapes fall from the top to the bottom of the screen, and the player must turn them and move them so as to make a horizontal line of ten blocks with no gaps. if the player does this, the line will disappear, leaving room for the next blocks. the player moves through levels of increasing difficulty, with the blocks dropping faster and faster, until they reach the top of the screen, so no new blocks can fall and the game ends. does it sound simple? maybe, but its simplicity hasn't limited its popularity. tetris was the first video game to be exported from russia to the usa, marking the beginning of a trend that now sees russia as a leader in the video game industry. tetris was the forerunner and perhaps the greatest of them all. it is still used today to teach compute science students how to program. in 2007, the game review site ign placed tetris at number two on its list of the 100 greatest video i time. the first tetris world championships were held three years later. the game also holds two guinness world records for its commercial success. the russian origin of the game is shown by the music heard in the background as the game pr the music is actually a melody from a russian folk song based on an 1861 poem by nikolai nekrasov called korobeiniki, or the peddlers. this is the first of three poems he wrote about russian peasants. peddlers were travelling salesmen who walked from village to village selling things such as cloth, books and other small items, and the poem concerns the tragic love story between a peddler and a beautiful peasant girl there is a strange contrast between the games bright colours and light-hearted graphics and the sad end to the original poem. the song itself ends happily, but the poem ends with the peddler being murdered before he can return to his love. the song is only the beginning of the poem, and covers the start of their romance but not its tragic end. tetris players are usually unaware of this sad tale as they happily play with the falling coloured blocks the idea for tetris came from a game the inventor loved. 1) true the coloured blocks are all square in shape. 2) false 3) not stated 2) false rue 3) not stated the game is won when a line of ten blocks is created 1) true russian video games are very successful nowadays. 2) false 3) not stated 3) not stated 3) not stated 2) false rue tetris was named the second best video game in history. 1) true a 19th century russian tune is heard while the game is played. 1) true nekrasov wrote several russian folk songs. 1) true the song and the poem end in the same way 2) false 2) false 2) false 2) false 3) not stated 3) not stated true 3) not stated
