A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Crazy Rocket Man sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Women competed in Olympic archery as early as 1904, making it one of the early Olympic sports to include women. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Crazy Rocket Man feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
