A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Baldi at School have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. That is only half the story. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
