Henk Rogers: In January 1988, I went to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and found Tetris… I was mesmerised by the game. Normally, I would stand in line to play each game for a couple of minutes and move to the next game, but with Tetris, I found myself standing in line for the fourth time and knew I was hooked – I had to go back and play more. So I brought Tetris back to Japan [where he had founded a successful software and gaming company]. Everybody went crazy playing it. In February of 1989, I met Alexey Pajitnov, the creator of Tetris. Boy, that was a match made in heaven!
