          • The 1980s. Space Panic (1980) released in arcades by Universal Entertainment inspired such puzzle-platform games as Lode Runner (1983), Door Door (1983), and Doki Doki Penguin Land (1985). However, Tetris was the game that revolutionized and popularized the puzzle genre. It was created by Soviet game designer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 and released by Spectrum Holobyte for MS-DOS in 1987 as well as Atari Games in arcades in 1988 and sold 30 million copies for Game Boy.

In the game players have to touch groups of jewels on a grid, causing them to disappear, then new stones fall into their place.
