    Three different publishers, three different people credited as author, one game. It's far from the only example of the phenomenon, but what's going on? How are people managing to so obviously steal/copy each other's code?

    And perhaps more to the point, if you're going to do that why would you do it with an obscure 2MB tower-stacker that you're giving away free, rather than something more popular you might be able to make a quick illicit buck from before anyone finds out? (As with The Blocks Cometh.)
