The Age has reviewed Tringo, a Tetris like game, created by Brisbane developer Nathan Keir. The simple yet enjoyable game evolved in Second Life, a virtual online world, and after a port to Game Boy Advance, Tringo is now set to take on mobiles, interactive television, and even a game show in Britain.
"It feels like the second wave is coming," said Keir, 32, who still keeps his day job as a programmer in the finance arm of agricultural machinery maker John Deere. "It's impossible to say where it's going from here."
Nothing like seeing a small project go on to "ride the wave". A sample of Tringo can be played here if you haven't delved in to a Second Life beyond World of Warcraft.
