A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Baby Mother's Surprise waits for your next move: During much of the 19th century in the United States, visibly painted cosmetics became socially unacceptable even though beauty practices never disappeared. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Baby Mother's Surprise feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
