A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Circular Arena Shooter: Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. That gives Circular Arena Shooter a little more company than it first appears to have.
