A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Baby Hazel: New Year Bash have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. The Oregon Trail began in 1971 when three student teachers created a computer simulation to help Minnesota schoolchildren learn American history. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Baby Hazel: New Year Bash feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
