A strange little side quest
If Chicken Attack sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. The same trail leads to another fact: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
