Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.

Space invader is about uniting all of earth's peoples against a common challenge.

Pong is about the heated but honest exchange of ideas that makes a democracy stronger.

(/jk I agree with you)

if you think about it, in tetris once you fit perfectly you get destroyed. but if you don't, you stand and eventually help each other get to the top. maybe it's a caution against conformity.
