In 1990, a variation of what we consider the simplest, yet most addictive game ever (Tetris) was originally programmed for DOS. The game was then redesigned for the Newton MessagePad in 1994, and again for MacOS Classic in 1998.

History

baKno’s history in computer games dates back to the 80’s, as shown by this rescued sample code. The story: in 1986, Xerox copies were the only way to distribute high-school budget code for Casio calculators. This is a partial image of a double sided paper containing a total of 52 lines of code, which the user was supposed to type into his or her calculator to play the game.
