There used to be a playable Tetris in the favicon, which I found from HN[1], but it looks like the website[2] is dead now :( [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/i

Probably because of how vocal Tetris's IP lawyers are.

  From what I understand (correct me if I’m wrong), they don’t care if you make a Tetris game, just don’t have the name “Tetris” in your title.

There was also a suite of Windows games I played back in ~2003 that occupied maybe a 32x64 window each, and one of them was mini Tetris. As I recall, the developer was Israeli. Anyway it was awesome for playing casually in stealth mode; there were no window decorations and the games were well made. I think one of the other games was pool. I haven't been able to find them since.

  Have you tried asking in the subreddit "tip of my tongue" [0]? I have been amazed at what they can figure out about obscure stuff with very abstract clues. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/
