"The Gamest Grand Prize for the best game of the year, as voted by Gamest readers, was awarded to the thrilling brain-puzzle block game 'Tetris'! Its extremely simple graphics and content concealed a depth and addictiveness that captivated the entire archipelago [of Japan]. For players, it became a game they simply could not put down, and it is this charm that earned it the prestigious title of Best Game of the Year."
