20 Years of Tetris
It doesn’t seem possible — Tetris has turned 20.
It hardly seems possible, but it was almost 17 years ago that the relationship between me & my (soon to be) wife was solidified over some marathon sessions of alternating games of Tetris on my Mac SE (1MB RAM & 20MB HD). Good times. 
The game that ate away the most time back then, however, was a card game called Klondike. This hugely addictive game (I swear that sometimes I almost got into a trance playing it, and couldn’t stop even if I’d have wanted to…) was, IIRC, the first shareware app that I ever registered! And the registration has served me well, as I was able to contact the author a year or two ago to ensure that my “lifetime upgrades” license was still in effect. Thus, the game that I first started playing on a Mac running System 5.1 is still running on my Mac G4 that’s running OS X 10.4.3! Very cool…

(and, yes, I know I’m slack for not posting more — but given my readership/hit-counter numbers, I’m not sure that anyone’s even noticing…
