::::::::::::Thanks for the recent changes. I found an interview from 1989-08 where the conception date is mentioned as 1984. I'm not sure I've added the sfn correctly, #17 at the time of writing, but I did manage to add the magazine in the bibliography. —[[User:Flicky1984|Flicky1984]] ([[User talk:Flicky1984|talk]]) 15:52, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Recent interview talking about 1984 prototype, which didn't have the concept of a Tetris (clear four lines) https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-aias-game-makers-notebook/id1313004515?i=1000692874362 —[[User:Flicky1984|Flicky1984]] ([[User talk:Flicky1984|talk]]) 10:09, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
::::::::::::::That's interesting. I'll have to listen to it later. I do know that on Vadim's website, he says that Pajitnov had made a sort of tetris like game called "Genetic engineering" a few years prior.
::::::::::::::<code>"A few months after we started working together, Pajitnov came up with the Tetris idea. Before we met he had a computer game called Genetic Engineering. In that game the player had to move the 4-square pieces (tetramino) around the screen using cursor keys. The player could assemble various shapes. I don't remember the exact objective of that game, but it seemed rather dull"</code>
::::::::::::::Could that be what he was talking about? According to Vadim, the Electronica 60 and IBM PC versions were made very shortly after his idea of tetraminoes falling into a glass, and those versions already had the idea of a 4 line Tetris [[User:Explodingcreepsr|Explodingcreepsr]] ([[User talk:Explodingcreepsr|talk]]) 21:47, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this already in the discussion, but right as this started gaining steam, ''[https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/06/anniversary-is-tetris-really-40-this-year Time Extension]'' posted an article on the release date confusion. Based on their investigation, which included reaching out to Henk Rogers himself, they concluded that ''Tetris'' was released on 1985.
