In Year of Our Tetris 0, Alexey Pazhitnov created Tetris, and it was good.
And did for the next several years people battle over Tetris, and it was bad.
In those dark times, the world was all chaos and confusion.
And out of that confusion came the Church of Tetris, and it was better.
And the years did pass, and many came to worship Tetris. And all knew its glory.
And after many years did evil men try to create False Idols and fool the people.
But The Church held true and fights for the one, true Tetris.
In the days before The Church all was good with Tetris. People worshiped Tetris and their hearts were filled with joy, even though the world was covered in ice and governed by oppressive politics. Tetris was spread freely so that everyone could worship it.
In YoOT 1, the Dark Ages of Tetris began. Many evil men tried to control Tetris, fighting over copyrights and licenses. It was in this year that The Church of Tetris was founded by a few followers who had received the glory of Tetris. They held Tetris true in their hearts and did not waver from their path. They prayed for the deliverance of Tetris from Evil, and in YoOT 4, Nintendo won the battle and distributed Tetris to all the people. But alas, they made the people pay high fees and allowed them to worship only at their alters. But, lo!, the Internet and the PC freed Tetris from the grips of Evil, and once again, it was good.
Since YoOT 0, some people have tried to remake Tetris in their own image. They lied to themselves about a truer glory than Tetris. But rather than create new glories for the people to worship, they bastardized Tetris. And many people never knew the true glory of Tetris. Thus it is the mission of The Church of Tetris to bring the truth of Tetris to the masses so that they may be freed from the shackles of the False Idols.
Year of Our Tetris: YoOT 0 starts 1 June 1985 AD by the Gregorian Calendar.
