A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Batera Virtual. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: 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 gives Batera Virtual a little more company than it first appears to have.
