It may not be as sexy as more modern games like StarCraft II or Modern Warfare, but venerable old Tetris still has its hardcore players, who last year got together for the Classic Tetris World Championship.
Filmmaker Adam Cornelius was there to document the whole thing, and in the process was able to put together a full-length documentary titled Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters
The championships were held last August, with contestants forced to play, as the competitionās name suggests, the āclassicā NES version of the puzzler. Overseen by creator Alexey Pajitnov, over 200 players entered, with the winner (SPOILER: here) taking home $1000 and a big-ass trophy.

Itās his second doco on Tetris, after Max-Out!, but this one looks a little slicker. You can check out its homepage at the link below.
