hi all! tetris has got to be one of the most iconic games ever created in the history of computer gaming. it's educational, addictive and catchy with its Russian-inspired background music. and speaking of Russian background music, it has got me thinking... what was the name of that famous tetris theme song? was it korobeiniki? i can't remember correctly, although i am now able to play that cool tetris theme song on the piano. can somebody enlighten me about this tetris theme music? and something about its history? thanks in advance! =)

Yes, the Tetris theme is Korobeiniki. It was written as a poem in the mid 1800s in Russia, and developed into a common folk song there. It was first put with Tetris on Nintendo's GameBoy.
