Jig Snap has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. 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, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
