There was a playable tetris game for the TI calculator like 20 years
ago.

But still someone has managed to have Gnome ship a version of that game
since 2007 that isn't even playable on 2011's supercomputers.

The culmination of social hacking!

Even Excel Tetris on an Arduino beats the crap out of this
implementation performance wise. Hilarious!

Title:
  Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down

Status in GNOME Games:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-games” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-games

  Play gnometris, and get to around level 3 or 4.  This bug is easier to
  see at higher levels.

  Use the move keys by holding them down.  The resulting behavior is
  very frustrating - the block will move in spurts, and continue to move
  after you let go of the key.  Worse still, it becomes impossible to
  move the block all the way to the side before it declines several
  rows, making it literally impossible to place a block in the upper
  right corners of the board as the level increases.

  Regardless, even basic play becomes frustrating like this at a fairly
  early level.  It is very aggravating letting go of the keyboard and
  watching your piece keep flying across the screen beyond your control.
