Quinn Quinn, a game by Simon Haertel, disappeared for a short period after receiving a nastygram from the Tetris Company. How dare he make no money developing a game for a platform they’d never seriously develop for anyway? After conferring with the EFF, the game is back for download with the following preamble.

Quinn is an implementation of a popular falling-blocks game, which, according to the Tetris Company, must not be named here.

Ah, very clever. Surely we can’t figure out what he’s talking about. wink wink. The game is networkable, even over a Bon Jour network. Imagine the crazy dorm competitions that could be going on at this very moment, or this moment next week. Scott, I’m looking at you to spread the word.

It’s free. Download now.
