FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

A friend who commented on a previous post pointed out the issue of copyright with regards to a test animation that I had created, which can be seen... here.

I started to look into this further and discovered a very relevant documentary on the Tetris copyright issue. Most people remember Tetris from the Game Boy but few know the context in which that came about and quite what a chance thing it was.

It covers the rivalries between Nintendo and Atari and the absurdities of buying copyrights for software from a country that didn't believe in property (Communist Russia) The documentary also shows just how vast the gap was between the East and West.

TETRIS: From Russia With Love (BBC4)

An important documentary about a very important game.
