Back to Santaland: Snow in Paradise

A strange little side quest

Between one round of Back to Santaland: Snow in Paradise and the next, this is worth knowing: Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That is only half the story. Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. So a round of Back to Santaland: Snow in Paradise is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer arcade history timeline.
