Unix: bulit for a game

Just having some fun, playing Tetris on my OpenBSD box.
Yes, I know OpenBSD is an Unix-like, but just go with it.

How about some Unix history?
Ken Thompson, a researcher working at Bell Labs, wrote a game for the GE-645 mainframe called Space Travel. However, Thompson found that the game was too slow on the GE machine. Thompson, along with fellow researcher Dennis Ritchie, both grew frustrated by the size and complexity of the OS which ran the GE-645, Multics. (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service) Thompson thus re-wrote the game in assembly language for Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP-7 with help from Dennis Ritchie. This experience, combined with his work on the Multics project, led Thompson to start a new operating system for the PDP-7. Thompson and Ritchie led a team of developers, including Rudd Canaday, at Bell Labs developing a file system as well as the new multi-tasking operating system itself. They included a command line interpreter and some small utility programs.

Believe it or not, some mouth breathers don't know how to use wikipedia

this is easter egg of Emacs, or not?

@oilimeliox

It's not emacs, but I think emacs comes with tetris. (idk, am a vim user)

This tetris comes with OpenBSD and should be listed as bsdgames on Linux.

[sakkurae]

ok what ever. even amiga500 was better games than this

:DDDDDDDD

[roboticterror]

Well OpenBSD can play other games. but whatever

[sakkurae]

20-30 years of linux and all it can play is tetris

[roboticterror]

Two thing I need to bring up.

First of all, Linux has been around for only 19 years.

The last thing is that this is now Linux. This is OpenBSD; a whole other OS.

@roboticterror jajaja ok... in the buffer of Emacs, type "M(Meta, i like thi key so much)-x" and open similar tetris... Emacs and vi / vim is not good for me, i like "ed"... "Emacs hace la maquina mas lenta" or "Emacs makes the machine slower" jajaaaj or not?, sorry for my english, is very bad

[sakkurae]

i was only playing the windows vs linux thing:D well windows vs openbsd... but yea tetris is good.

The BSD's are closer to UNIX than Linux will ever be....

OS X IS MORE THAN JUST A COPY OF BSD.
