Original: Beyond Tetris: The other games of Alexey Pajitnov [video]
Alexey Pajitnov, the Soviet engineer who created Tetris in 1984, designed a number of other puzzle games that never matched his first hit's fame. A new video essay explores that overlooked body of work, profiling the games he made before and after Tetris and asking why only one became a global phenomenon. Gamers and design enthusiasts are sharing the piece and trading memories of his lesser-known titles.
Why now: Renewed interest in game history and nostalgia for Tetris's creator is driving discussion of his overlooked work.
