I participated in a Tetris competition in 1989, when I was 8. It was in a small French-Canadian town in Ontario, Canada, on a cable access channel. I still have the VHS tape, and it is hilarious to watch. They had no budget, and it is dripping in 80s-ness. Kids were chosen to participate based on their academic performance in school, but half of the kids had NO IDEA how to play. The best part is watching these bewildered children lose in 30 seconds. I came in second place! The game was the rare and illegal TENGEN NES version, which is the best version of Tetris ever.
