A strange little side quest
The next time Get a Screw: 3D Puzzle! asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. So a round of Get a Screw: 3D Puzzle! is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
