So you actually did it and got it up! Nice. Funny as shit review, as usual.

I really enjoyed this review, too, because I'd heard how bad Hatris was. Apparently even the worker power-ups on the NES are nearly useless!

Yeah, the timeline is a bit off, if only to show what a delirious idea this game was (Pajitnov's fame is the only reason I could see it being made). There was also the listless Wordtris (1991) in his spell of bad games.

Yeah...for a strong intro like that, it's probably better not to bore people with too much timeline. Too many details and stuff.

Enjoyed the review. Fun read. However, I don't like the arguement that you can't "win" in Hatris.

"Before you know it, you've already lost. You simply don't have a legitimate shot -- short of pure luck -- at lasting extended periods of time like this. Even during the worst of times in Tetris, you still felt like you might be able to pull out a miracle and restore order. In Hatris, you never had a chance to begin with, but were merely trying to prolong the game."

Okay, this is what I get for reading reviews while half asleep.
