Chris Tang

Game developer and eSports personality Chris Tang is the iconic commentary voice of the Classic Tetris World Championship as seen on ESPN and online with tens of millions of views, and stars in the Netflix Original Series "HIGH SCORE". As a competitive gamer, Chris holds titles such as "Rock the Rock" Sega World Champion, Nintendo World Championships Los Angeles City Champion, and Hawaii State Nintendo Champion just to name a few. Chris was inducted into the International Video Game Hall of Fame in 2017, and was the first person to receive the Classic Tetris Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022.

Competitive gaming success led Chris to a career in game development with credits that include beloved favorites such as "Gauntlet IV", "Primal Rage", "Marvel Vs. Capcom", "Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike", "Tetris" - and is the game designer of the infamously cancelled "Primal Rage II", which Engadget proclaimed "2017's hottest new fighting game". Now an indie developer, he is involved in several projects and is the Senior Game Designer of "STRIKE BLAZINGER", a high-speed spiritual successor to arcade-style rail shooters. Passionate about gaming history and culture, Chris can be seen in many films and documentaries, is a featured writer for Old School Gamer Magazine, and is an alumni speaker at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
