A strange little side quest
Creamy Ice belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. Electric refrigeration reached the American mass market in the late 1920s, changing how households stored food and even how desserts such as ice cream could be made at home. It also connects to a different milestone: SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Creamy Ice feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
