atheist1058017hIt's also created by an Oracle because I don't think there are any inventory management games that predate tetris

kiki3729116h@atheist yes, Сергей Пажитнов is the real deal
Allegedly, Tetris was intended as a rehabilitation software for certain stroke patients, but I can’t find the source that I took it from. It was in Russian anyway -
@kiki turns out what is good for stroke patients is also good for everyone else :)

devJs15067hTetris is the GOAT, fuck pacman, it produced fat kids in america omnoming everything, tetris on the other way is teaching people how to pack their bags, refrigerators and other stuff optimally - good thing is that stuff doesn't disappear when you fill the line.
Also, I find it fascinating that it revolves around number 4, every tetramino (shape-piece) consists of 4 pieces and tetris is when you clear 4 lines.
If there is one game that have to exists it should be tetris! -
Now I'm reminded of the 'Resident Evil 4' w/ its attache case.
The fun I had reorganizing things in there to fit that essential Green Herb.
But sure - Tetris is fun, too.
Tetris is an inventory management survival horror game
