My friends in the WP who are younger than me, by decades. You have not lived in an era with the Soviet Union in the background. I have. You may not know that the first real on-screen computer game was designed precisely in the Soviet Union. It was called Tetris, and today, it is computer history.
It would be futile to add links, just go Google "tetris online."
Uhm, I was 12 when the Berlin Wall fell, and despite being a kid at the time, I very well remember the Cold War and the iron Curtain. Heck, I still think in terms of those lines today. I remember the end of the Cold War, the stories that leaked out from Romania in particular (the orphanages, surely no one alive at the time can forget the images of those children). I remember well the Soviet threat in the background.
Tetris was my first Gameboy game. I got it with my gameboy for my 13th birthday and I've been hooked on it since. The original Tetris is very fun. It had nice music too, simple and fitting for it. I tried track A, B and C, but almost always chose A, and occasionally C.
