A strange little side quest
Crazy Golf III has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
