[Tetris] Tetris has a PLOT?!
I'll post links to screenshots here later, for the picture evidence. However, you'll notice this too, if you play it yourself.
We're going to focus on Nintendo's NES version of Tetris, because this is where the theory makes the most sense.
Have you ever noticed the ending, where rockets are sent skyward? That's a hint that we're working with the space race, and at the time Tetris was originally developed, the space race was a VERY prevalent matter. But, there's more. When your score improves, the rocket that's sent improves with it. That can't be a coincidence, can it? Well, no, not really, when you consider this.
Rocket fuel is composed of a compound, and an oxidant. A compound is two things mixed together. So, how does that knowledge tie in?
Notice the colour patterns of the blocks. You'll notice three colours. Two to make the compound, and one as the oxidant.
So, from this, we can theorize that you are in a lab constructing the "perfect" rocket fuel solution. Every line cleared is added to a reservoir elsewhere for safety. However, your lab is always in risk of a containment breach, represented by topping out. When you top out, your lab is shut down, unable to resume. The mess is so great that you are unable to continue your work. At least, however, you are able to see the rocket that you constructed the fuel for take off.
So, you're not just forming lines. You're making rocket fuel. You're fueling the space race.
But, as always, it's just a theory.
