A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown waits for your next move: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
