A strange little side quest
If Cheese Clicker sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012, and Voyager 2 followed in 2018. A second detail makes the picture even better: M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
