I speculate that Tetris (possibly even just the 1989 GameBoy version) was bigger than the Macarena.

I speculate that Tetris (possibly even just the 1989 GameBoy version) was bigger than the Macarena.
- iwontreddit 10y agoTetris wasn't that big before the Gameboy version. It was "big" in the tiny new computer/tech world, but it was gameboy which brought it into the mainstream.
- panglott 10y agoThe difference is that smartphones have a lot higher penetration than Gameboys did.
- knodi123 10y agoYes, but that difference is mitigated by the fact that tetris was the first mobile videogame that was popular or even socially acceptable for the post-college crowd to play. Now, the adult mobile gaming market is saturated.
