A strange little side quest
Rivals FPS: Online Shooter 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. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That gives Rivals FPS: Online Shooter a little more company than it first appears to have.
