A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like A Sitch in Time sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. The Oregon Trail eventually appeared across generations of computer hardware and sold tens of millions of copies, making it one of the most enduring educational games. The same trail leads to another fact: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at A Sitch in Time feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
