No, I don’t mean Tetris, I mean this kind of classic arcade games.

At least in Discover (Plasma package manager GUI) I didn’t find any similar game, only Tetris clones.

Thank you.

    The arcade game is called “stacker”.

    It’s not something that requires a lot and it’s also available in browsers running from any OS.

    Here’s one (first hit on Google and it has ads). https://www.crazygames.com/game/stack-online

    If you ever wanted to learn how to program a game, this would be a great opportunity, but I doubt there’s a large audience for this kind of game.

    When done in an OS native app it would either be too easy or too hard.

    The arcade game has those funky physical buttons that need to be pressed through the layer of dried slush-ice and maybe some people think they’re good at it, but it doesn’t really take any specific effort.

    The thing that is fun is making the player believe that they’re close to winning the grand prize, almost gambling depending on how the machine is set up.
