A strange little side quest
Between one round of Mah Jong Connect II and the next, this is worth knowing: The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. That is only half the story. 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. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
