The next time Army Raid asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. So a round of Army Raid is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
