Going back on the idea that the three shapes represent the three game peices.
If anyone remembers, back in I think June ( Bill Posted that the GDC wanted students, Alumnist, Mentors etc. to e-mail them about what they wanted to see in next years game. I sent them an e-mail and said how the king of the hill part of Stack Attack would be a good element to return. I'm hoping that based of of this theory, Stack Attack would return in some way or form.
Here's my e-mail just in case any of what I asked for makes it in

Hello to the entire GDC.
My name is Dave Givens, I am a programmer on 1071, and 2010 was my Rookie Year.
For next years game, I was hoping especially as a new person, to bring back an older game, with a new twist, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of FRC. This would allow the new guys like me to see some of these classics I hear my older mentors talk about.
Some specific games I would like to see return, or see elements from these games return
Maize Craze - My little joke is to support Maize Craze 2011 whenever I walk into the shop. On a sirius note as simple as this game is, it is the original game, and I think some tribute either on the 20th or 25th anniversary should be given to.
Stack Attack - There was just something about this game I really liked. I'm pretty sure it was the sorta King of the Hill aspect of the game that made it seem interesting to me. If somehow next years game could include King of the Hill, whether specifically as a flashback to Stack Attack or not, would be interesting. Plus it would keep up the high and changing strategy that Breakaway had.
Other - As I mentioned before, I like the games that are more high paced and have more strategy like sports (no matter if they are sports based or not). Its because of that reason I Prefer games like Breakaway and Overdrive over games such as Rack n Roll and Triple Play (even though our Teams first Regional win was on that game)
In closing I want to thank everyone on the GDC for putting together a spectacular game that made my Rookie Year enjoyable. This game really got me involved with First, and I can guarantee you I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my ideas,
-David Givens
