Big Bubble Pop

A strange little side quest

Zoom out from Big Bubble Pop for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
