No Vacancy

A strange little side quest

Zoom out from No Vacancy for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. And the history keeps stacking up: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
