I don't wanna be a jerk, but it's another proof that Tetris success was accidental. All other games are beyond suboptimal. Also interesting how one random success could define a man's future, career, happiness, money, etc.

Even the biggest bands only have 5% of their songs be huge hits. For any creative endeavor you're going to have some whiffs. The ratio of whiffs to hits probably depends on the nature of the medium.

Still, the concept behind Tetris itself is good, so I wouldn’t call it a fluke

Did you watch the entire 2 hour video to be able to say this? Which of these games did you actually play? The statement just seems totally unjustified.

Honestly, the biggest discovery to me is that the game was created later than I expected. 1984 in the video title would put it in the same year as Duck Hunt; Wikipedia seems to suggest 1985 was the actual year it was published, which is the same year as Super Mario Bros (which itself came few years after Donkey Kong).
