The Tetris game is truly one of the world's most popular games. Right now, perhaps billions of kids are playing free Tetris online. Why is this game so popular you might ask?

The game is simple yet challenging. The mechanics of it can really make the best genius players game fall on their knees in humility. Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but the game is truly addictive. This is because Tetris players feel that they can beat the game at one point of the game but then there will be a bad mix of Tetris pieces ruining the perfect structure. This will make you to play on.

The game's popularity also created several spin of version differing from the traditional kind. This adds more options as well as pit falls and challenges, making the game diverse and exciting.

One of the earliest versions is called Hatris. The game was born in the mind of Alexy Pazhitnov, the original designer. In the first version of the game, the aim is to create a row of five hats of the same kind. Different kinds of hats, instead of Tetris pieces, fall from above down to different heads below. One needed to make sure that no two of the heads below wear the same kind of hat so that there will always be a spot to land the other types of hats. It is really a lot like solitaire, only there is a time limit since the hats are falling without the player's control.

Another kind of variant is the Super Tetris Game. This kind lets you play the traditional brick game (as it is sometimes called). But there are new features to the traditional game. Instead of just pure bricks, there are other kinds of pieces that fall from above. There are bombs, weird and difficult brick shapes, metal bricks that can't be destroyed by the usual means, etc. To make the game even more interesting (and difficult) an extra layer keeps on pilling from the bottom up so that the play area where you can move and maneuver the bricks become smaller and smaller. Usually, clearing the bottom layers will reveal a picture (usually an adult pornographic picture in some versions.

These are just some of the types of game versions available out there. Playing a free Tetris game online is truly rewarding and fun, not to mention it also sharpens a person's intellect.

There are people out there who claim that perhaps the only thing that playing the Tetris game will do is to increase one's Tetris intelligence. If you want to know more please visit this site http://www.tetrislive.com
