    I don't wanna be a jerk, but it's another proof that Tetris success was accidental. All other games are beyond suboptimal. Also interesting how one random success could define a man's future, career, happiness, money, etc.

    Honestly, the biggest discovery to me is that the game was created later than I expected. 1984 in the video title would put it in the same year as Duck Hunt; Wikipedia seems to suggest 1985 was the actual year it was published, which is the same year as Super Mario Bros (which itself came few years after Donkey Kong).
