The longest-running puzzle videogame series has seen releases across 34 years 253 days, and was achieved by Tetris, which was developed by Alexey Pajitnov (Russian Federation) and first released on 6 June 1984, with its latest iteration, Tetris, developed by N3TWORK (USA), released on 23 January 2020.
Tetris is such a well-known and iconic videogame, it has even spawned a behavioural condition called the 'Tetris effect' (aka. Tetris syndrome), which occurs when people devote so much time and attention to an activity that it begins to pattern their thoughts, mental images, and dreams.
