[hypothetical question]
What if no one made Tetris yet and it was developed last week, would it still be a smash hit like it was a long time ago?
I'm guessing it would go under because there are so many other nice minimal games out there for browser and mobile.
Hardware is important too because back in the day it was close to what the computers were capable of making it a "main course" game. I think it would be stamped as a browser game for PC today. Also I don't see it playing well on the most used gaming machines today (smartphones) because touch screen controls aren't good enough. I guess today it would have the most potential on 3ds/Switch which is funny because it was Nintendos killer app for the Gameboy many many centuries ago. Okay maybe on PS, XB, PC it could be viewed as a cool little indie game but probably not much more than that.
Would tetris be a huge success today? What do you think?
Also if you enjoy Tetris, check out the games Triangulis and First person tetris, they are both very cool.
