A strange little side quest
The mechanics around CubiKill 6 : The Rise of the I.T. Guy have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. And the history keeps stacking up: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
