Nah, tetris is literally still going. Today is too diversified to compare success with success of pre/early internet eras.
No it is not. Tetris is Tetris
Was candy crush the first to use its formula though? I don’t think so
I remember when it was called Bejeweled.
even Dr. Mario wasn't the first.
God we're all so old now
Yup, that’s probably this generation’s Tetris equivalent
And there was also a predecessor that was extremely similar on Kyocera phones in the 90s
not even close
~~This~~ past
Ftfy
I agree with the points other comments, but I think it's a fair comparison as "The game that got more moms into gaming".
Wasn't it Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for the Nintendo DS?
For the Muricans: Brain Age
Candy Crush is more Gen X. I am convinced that no one younger than my aunts play it, and yea tetris is still popular.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
