The Two Met

A strange little side quest

The next time The Two Met asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. The name Tetris combines a reference to four-square pieces with Pajitnov's interest in tennis. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at The Two Met feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
