Spawning countless iterations of block-based puzzle games across the world, Tetris is one of the most well-known and most beloved properties to ever grace a video screen. Lately, Ed’s 7 year old son Logan has been bitten by the Tetris bug, and he was super excited to be joined by his friend Emily to talk about it on The VGMbassy. Together, the pair share unique and fun music from over a decade’s worth of Tetris games and chat about their favorite titles and block-clearing techniques. Logan comes up with his own concept for a new kind of Tetris game, and Emily falls in love with the musical stylings of Neil Voss. “Drop” on by and take a listen!
