A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Crowded Walk is anything but tiny. In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Crowded Walk feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
