I’m curious about Henk Rogers, the guy who helped bring Tetris to the world. I came across his name and learned about his role in Tetris’s distribution, but I couldn’t find much about his personal life. Was Henk Rogers ever married? If so, who is his wife? Did she play any part in his gaming career?
Henk Rogers’ wife is Akemi Rogers. They met while attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa Sarkari Exam reports Henk Rogers met his wife Akemi while attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa: sarkariexam.com.
