  1. Tetris

    Tetris (Russian: Тетрис [ˈtɛtrʲɪs]; portmanteau of "tetromino" and "tennis") is a tile-matching puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Soviet Russian software engineer Alexey Pajitnov. The first playable version was completed on June 6, 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the Soviet Union in Moscow. He derived its name from combining the Greek numerical prefix tetra- (the falling pieces contain 4 segments) and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport. The name is also used in-game to refer to the play where four lines are cleared at once.

  7. Dante's Academia

    Dante's Academia is a web-based narrative game, made by Julia Sebastien. The story follows the protagonist who is trying to reach the Ivory Tower in hopes of making their parents proud. The overall game is filled with metaphors. The ivory tower, as an example, is a metaphorical place where people are "happily" cut of from the rest of humanity. Meanwhile, Dante here is a refference to Dante Alighieri, an Italian poet, writer and philosopher, who is known for his depictions of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven.

    To put it simply, game's protagonist is trying to reach the top of the academy (heaven = the ivory tower). To achieve that, the character has to go through hell, which in this case is a dark forest, a shady club (filled with temptations), a burning maze and a military training ground.
