A strange little side quest
Zoom out from Baldy's Adventure for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012, and Voyager 2 followed in 2018. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: 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. That long chain of experiments is part of why space still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
