Over at tech blog Gizmodo , Apple co-founder and creator of the Apple I and Apple II (and chronically underappreciated genius) Steve Wozniak conducted a Q&A session with the blog’s readership. And, as pointed out by Joystiq , there’s a rather interesting tidbit in one of the Woz’s answers that will intrigue Apple fans, tech appreciators and gamers alike.

Gizmodo user TysonRoad asked Mr. Wozniak “what kind of games do you like to play?” Woz answered, “I only play the original Gameboy Tetris . I buy cartridges on eBay when needed,” he admitted. He went on to note that he “was always #1 in the Nintendo Power listings in 1988” for Tetris high scores, “and after they said my name had been in there too many times and wouldn’t print it again, I spelled my name backwards (Evets Kainzow) and sent in a photo of my score.”“When I got the magazine I’d forgotten doing this and was worried that a foreigner from the next city over (I used Saratoga instead of Los Gatos so they wouldn’t catch on) had a score up in my range. I got worried but then remember my joke. Whew!”Wozniak may be remembering his dates wrong – Game Boy didn’t launch until 1989 – but as Joystiq points out, there’s an interesting piece of evidence that substantiates his claim. Reddit user polar0ids points to a thread on Metafilter where a user dug through his collection of old Nintendo Powers only to find Evets Kainzow as the sole owner of the high score of Tetris on Game Boy in Issue #26.Who knew?(Image above courtesy of polaroids .)
