A strange little side quest
One reason archery keeps producing good game ideas around Apple & Onion The Floor is Lava! is that its history is full of strange turns. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. The timeline takes another interesting turn: 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 gives Apple & Onion The Floor is Lava! a little more company than it first appears to have.
