Broken Down Tetris
Tetris is the most ported game of all time. There are over 520 million copies sold globally. Everyone and their grandma has played at least one round of Tetris in their lifetime. It’s also indestructible and made to withstand the test of time. This broken-down game of Tetris is living proof that Tetris is nearly indestructible. It’s also a perfect videogame. Professor James Newman said, “By responding to the never-ending supply of blocks, organizing them, tactically parking some to worry about later while strategically adding and combining others into shapes and structures ripe with the potential for future removal, Tetris offers the seductive potential of agency and control in a sea of apparent chaos.” It’s a great example of something easy to learn, but challenging to master (BBC).
