For those interested, the 6/8 edition of the Wall Street Journal has a
front-page story on Tetris, more specifically about the legal mess surrounding
it.  Seems like there's about a million different entities who "own" the
rights to it, and they're all suing each other.  The Russion inventors have
made about $800.

Interestingly, Spectrum Holobyte wasn't even mentioned.
