A strange little side quest
A little context makes Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac 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. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. So a round of Mahjong Solitaire Zodiac is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
