Beyond Tetris: The Other Games of Alexey Pajitnov

Original: Beyond Tetris: The other games of Alexey Pajitnov [video]

Alexey Pajitnov, the Soviet engineer who created Tetris in 1984, also designed a string of lesser-known puzzle games that rarely get attention. A newly circulating retrospective looks at those titles, tracing how his knack for simple, addictive mechanics extended well past his most famous creation and shaped later puzzle game design.

Why now: Pajitnov is best known solely for Tetris, so coverage of his overlooked catalogue draws curiosity from gaming and history enthusiasts.
