The History of Tetris: Of an Alternate Timeline

Foreword:

Back in 2018, The Tetris Company unveiled a new logo replacing the familiar Roger Dean version. Each Tetris release usually had a variation of the logo using different colors and interesting design for the subtitle. Excited, I awaited the first game to use the new logo, and what variation we would see.

The first appearance associated to a game release was the official Tetris Royal announcement trailer. The game had already soft launched in New Zealand using the Roger Dean logo. When the game officially launched, the name was changed to just "Tetris" and the plain branding was used instead.

A few other games had retroactive changes, the biggest one being Tetris Effect. This is what inspired the following.

Tetris® for the Nintendo® Game Boy®

The all time classic, it was famously designed jointly by Russian cyber scientists, and Japanese electronic engineers. Little known to most though, the secret sauce, what Tetris™®© is known for, the random pieces, was invented by Grand Master Game Designer: Dr. Henk Rogers. During a last minute meeting with the Japanese engineers, Dr. Rogers outlined a concept now known as quantum random number generation. Without it, pieces in Tetris would always be the same every time you started a new game!

Tetris The Grand Master series

This series compilation was released in 2017, almost 8 years after the release of the last TGM title. Sadly no new title has been released since this compilation, and fans are very upset at Mr Mihara.

Mr. Gyro

You try to be funny by making mixing the Tetris brand with a random restaurant, but they beat you to it when they did a colab with Sushi Shop.

Tetris Mr. Gyro serves you Gyros. The napkins have Tetris printed on them, that's about the most Tetris part of the whole experience at Tetris: Mr. Gyro.

I'd like to also acknowledge the very nice day we spent hosted by Kevin, and Zach, thank you. We went out to the restaurant in Seattle called Mr. Gyro, the inspiration for this restaurant wall decor.

Wait, maybe you don't even know what Reddit is? Well it's this place where homo sapiens could receive and send messages that would be logged to a central source. It was popular with millennials) logo for r/Tetris.
