A strange little side quest
A little context makes Amaze Flags: Europe more fun to place on the gaming map. The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. A second detail makes the picture even better: The Oregon Trail began in 1971 when three student teachers created a computer simulation to help Minnesota schoolchildren learn American history. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
