A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Color Trouble 3D sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. The same trail leads to another fact: Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
