A strange little side quest
A little context makes Easter Mahjongg more fun to place on the gaming map. Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of Easter Mahjongg is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
