A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Coach Hill Drive Simulator sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Formula 1 introduced pit-lane speed limits during the 1994 season as safety concerns grew around increasingly fast cars and busier pit lanes. And then there is this: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
