Yep, this is the original brought to us by a couple of geek Russian computer scientists that later fell out with one another over the authorship or whatever.
Now, the company owned by Alexey Pajitnov is no longer on the net after threatening everyone over the publication or use of the Tetris game. At least the link doesn't work.
