Who created the 1999 computer puzzle game Pandora’s Box published by Microsoft?

Alexey Pajitnov created the 1999 computer puzzle game Pandora’s Box, which was published by Microsoft.

Pajitnov is the Russian computer programmer best known as the creator of Tetris. Pandora’s Box uses a collection of puzzle types rather than presenting a single falling-block design. Its structure places the player in a series of challenges connected by a framing adventure.

The game was released for Microsoft Windows and reflects Microsoft’s interest in polished, family-friendly puzzle software during the late 1990s. Its title refers to the mythological container associated with the release of troubles.

Pandora’s Box should not be confused with the 1929 German film, the Greek myth, or later games using similar wording. In this case, the subject is a computer puzzle collection created by the designer of Tetris.
