Choco Maker belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
