A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Zombie Derby waits for your next move: Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers. So a round of Zombie Derby is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer puzzles timeline.
