Tetris

Tetris is a tile-matching puzzle video game created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. The player's objective is to arrange falling blocks of different shapes into a solid line, which then clears from the playing field.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news because its owner, The Tetris Company, successfully forced the White House to remove a 'Build The Wall' game that was a clone of Tetris without permission.
