A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Crazy Flasher 5 :Andy Law is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. The same trail leads to another fact: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That long chain of experiments is part of why action games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
