A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Big Escape 3: Out at Sea: 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. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Big Escape 3: Out at Sea feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
