A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Dog Dash is anything but tiny. Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre.

That long chain of experiments is part of why arcade history still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
