A strange little side quest
Put Attack of Alien Mutants next to the history of space and a few unexpected connections appear. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a cloud of gas and dust collapsing under gravity. And the history keeps stacking up: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. So a round of Attack of Alien Mutants is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer space timeline.
