A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Bayou Island. The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
