Video games in space
What was the first video game ever played in space? Was it … A.) Pong, B.) Super Mario Bros., C.) Tetris or D.) Space Invaders?
The answer: C.) Tetris. In 1993, Soviet cosmonaut Aleksandr Serebrov played it on a Nintendo Game Boy during his mission on the space station Mir. The Game Boy spent 196 days in space, taking more than 3,000 trips around Earth.
You know, playing Tetris has taught me a valuable life lesson: If you try to fit in, you’ll disappear. (Oh, good one!)
