Default Something about the history of Tetris

I can say I like to play Tetris a lot but what's the best term to use if I say:"When Tetris was designed, it was created on very ordinary computer"? For instance, I can say when Tetris was created, the computer wasn't the best quality in the market but that game is fun.

Something like this?
Even though computers were very basic when Tetris was created, it is still fun to play.
