A strange little side quest
Zoom out from One Shot Tower for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. The same trail leads to another fact: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
