Brain on the Line

A strange little side quest

A little context makes Brain on the Line more fun to place on the gaming map. The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. The timeline takes another interesting turn: A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Brain on the Line feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
