Climbing Ninja

A strange little side quest

The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Climbing Ninja is anything but tiny. A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
