Acceleracers

A strange little side quest

There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Acceleracers. Silverstone hosted the first Formula 1 World Championship round on May 13, 1950. And the history keeps stacking up: The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Acceleracers feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
