Just Buy A Game Boy Already: Analog Tetris

Analog Tetris is just like the digital version except not as fun. Or portable. Plus lines don't disappear at the bottom when you fill them. It probably shouldn't even be called Tetris.

Video games are present in our lives for diversion, just like TV and computer games. But they are games which limit exercise activity to our retinas, fingers, hands, and brains.CODECO proposes that we take one of the most recognized of these games to the level of exercising muscles as well.
