Trivia:
This version of Tetris, which was made for the NES, is the most controversial one. Tengen, a division owned by Atari that made games for third-party consoles (as a way to make money after Atari's unit was sold off by Warner Communications in 1984). Tengen bypassed a lockout chip designed by Nintendo to block unauthorized third-party games (as it was announced that Tengen would make games for the NES behind Nintendo's back) and Tetris was among the games. However, Tengen faced a lawsuit involving distribution of its own Tetris game. It was discovered that Tengen bought the rights from a company called Mirrorsoft, which did not own the rights in the first place. As a result, Tengen lost its case, the Tengen Tetris was recalled from stores, and Nintendo released their own legitimate version for the NES after that.

Tetris is an addictive and fun puzzle game designed for all ages. The innovation is classic as you fit block after block to create horizontal lines that fade out once you've made them. Alexey Pajitnov has created a classic for any system. Basically, it has always been with Nintendo spawning new Tetris games (Playstation had one, Tetrisphere), but I recommend the following titles for you to play with. Tetris (not DX), for the Game Boy, reason not being the DX is the absence of everyone's favorite theme song. Then the New Tetris for Nintendo 64, because it is beautiful, has a great soundtrack and you can have four people to play against you. There are so many puzzle games out now, but Tetris is the best.
