A strange little side quest
Put Capsule Shooting next to the history of action games and a few unexpected connections appear. Gun Fight reached arcades in 1975 and became the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The same trail leads to another fact: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Capsule Shooting feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
