A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Back to Granny's House. Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. It also connects to a different milestone: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Back to Granny's House feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
