A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Criminal waits for your next move: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
