Abandoned Island

A strange little side quest

Before the next round of Abandoned Island, here is a piece of the bigger picture. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. The same trail leads to another fact: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
