    Flappy Bird wasn’t the first to even implement a game like this.

    I remember playing a very similar game with a helicopter and another one with a worm long before that app released for phones.

    Flappy Bird is just the game of this type that ended up going viral in its time.

      I played the helicopter one as a flash web game when I was back in school some 20-25 years ago! Was one of the earliest simple time waster games (in a good sense) that I can remember being really addictive, the whole class would end up playing it in computer lessons until it got banned.
