Armored Warfare 1917

A strange little side quest

A small trivia drop for Armored Warfare 1917: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. It also connects to a different milestone: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
