A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Digital Circus: Parkour: Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Digital Circus: Parkour feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
