The game is part of Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series of interactive documentaries, which are presented as a historical timeline, featuring interviews with key people in the development of Tetris such as Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers, alongside several playable games.
Tetris Forever is developed by Digital Eclipse. It is third entry in the developer's Gold Master Series of documentary video game hybrid releases, following The Making of Karateka (2023) and Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story (2024).[1][2] As with other releases, the games are presented in a digital museum format, divided into interactive timelines. These feature photographs, scans of original advertisements, and 90 minutes of documentary footage about the history of Tetris and the key players involved such as Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers.[2][3]
Tetris Forever will include several different Tetris games. These include a recreation of Alexey Pajitnov's original 1985 version of Tetris for the Electronika 60, the 1988 Apple II version developed by Spectrum Holobyte, and several other Tetris titles developed by Bullet-Proof Software between 1988 and 1998, some of which have never previously been released outside of Japan.[2][4][5] Two additional games were announced in October with the MS-DOS version of Tetris by AcademySoft and Tetris by Spectrum HoloByte. Digital Eclipse's editorial director Chris Kohler said these addition involved "a lot of work went into being able to make this simple announcment."[6] A new game included in the compilation is Tetris Time Warp, which supports up to four players, alternating between gameplay styles across the series in real time as they complete each board.[3]
