Stacking Sand with Bill Bigsby

Tetris, according to its wiki, is

the first entertainment software to be exported from the Soviet Union to the US.

This seemed to be a good choice, as in the west Tetris has been proven to be wildy successful. At least a million¹ variants of tetris must exist by now. However, despite the vast number of innovations on the field of tetrology², proper western adaptions seem to be lacking.

In order to do something about this cultural void, I hereby announce Stacking Sand with Bill Bigsby: Tetris with more CAPITALISM.

Or less, according to this list. In any case, my gut says it’s a million and we can all agree that such a number sounds way more impressive. ↩
