Dominos was developed and published by Atari, Inc., and was released in 1977. The gameplay is a variation of the snake genre, in which players compete by surrounding each other with lines of dominos. Players change direction via a set of four directional buttons representing up, down, right, and left respectively. A player loses when they hit a wall, their own dominos, or their opponent's, at which point all the dominos in their line fall down. Yup, that's it, there's barely enough gameplay for it to qualify as gameplay. At the end of each round, a point is awarded to the winner of that round until the end point goal is reached. The point goal can be 3, 4, 5, or 6 points. So basically, it's a game. That exists.
