A strange little side quest
Devilish Hairdresser belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play. And the history keeps stacking up: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of Devilish Hairdresser is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
