I'm not sure I am comfortable with Tetris being lumped with the other fads named here...

  It was a one hit wonder hit, which is what OP was referring to.

    Tetris, having sold more copies then the next 9 top games combined, across multiple platforms and many years, is certainly not a "flash in the pan".

      Fair enough, but I think Candy Crush and others have reached that status too, no, across multiple mobile platforms? My point is that although Tetris is an undeniable classic much cooler than Candy Crush, it didn't cross generations very well.
