Tetris: From Russia With Love
The incredible story of the Russian-designed computer game, a simple but fiendishly addictive puzzle, originally designed by a programmer at Moscow's Academy of Science, that became the biggest-selling computer game of the 1990s. However, in the process, it generated a vast corporate feud as the leading corporations in the West battled to secure the rights from Russia, which saw the communists play the capitalists at their own game and win. Shown as part of Computer Night [but buggered up at the end]
