About this episode
It's easy to think of Tetris as JUST a puzzle game but the impact this simple puzzle game had is truly remarkable. Not only is it important to the initial success of the Game Boy but it infiltrated culture in a way we haven't really seen up to this point. There are even studies that point to Tetris tapping into a fundamental part of the human brain.
The story of Tetris is a story of perseverance and passion. It's a story of how simple ideas can sometimes be the most impactful. This episode takes us down rabbit holes we weren't expecting and we share it all.
