A strange little side quest
A little context makes Bratz Makeover Game more fun to place on the gaming map. Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play. And then there is this: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That long chain of experiments is part of why fashion and style still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
