A strange little side quest
Put Brick N Ballz next to the history of arcade history and a few unexpected connections appear. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. And then there is this: A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Brick N Ballz feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
