I have to give it to Tetris as that made it all the way to VR!


I also played Tetris a lot more than SMB. First on PC, later on Gameboy, and so many different versions played. I also made a version myself which actually got sold as part of the Widget leisure pack for the Ericsson MC218 in 1999.

It was just me doodling on Friday afternoons after the work on Streetplanner (which we later turned into TomTom Navigator) for Psion Series 5 was done. My boss liked it, made the background with the company logo back then (Palmtop software, hence Palmtris) and I recorded some sound samples from Laserdisc movies at home to use as sound effects. Fun to find it again, although I don't have the hardware anymore.

Of course SMB is just as influential and not losing any steam. Can't wait to play Mario Wonder!
