Hang Stan

A strange little side quest

Before the next round of Hang Stan, here is a piece of the bigger picture. M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
