Tetris is in my mind a perfect example of a video games succeeding as an artform. Although it is far less complex than other games it is more than just a simple puzzle game. The gameplay can be deep, fun, accessible and challenging depending on how you approach it. I think someone could also approach the nature of the game from a philisophical standpoint and on some level find coherent ideas being represented (although this is just one man's opinion).

The most important thing is that Tetris only works as a video game (in the same way that Pac-Man or Mario are only really good as videogames).
