Tetris for the Nintendo Game Boy is a tile-matching puzzle video game originally released in 1989. The game features falling tetrominoes—geometric shapes composed of four square blocks each—that players must rotate and manipulate to create horizontal lines without gaps. When a line is completed, it disappears, and the player earns points. The objective is to prevent the tetrominos from stacking to the top of the playing field. The Game Boy edition notably popularized Tetris and is praised for its portability and addictive gameplay. Its genre is a combination of puzzle and strategy.
