A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Dora Cute Puppy Caring is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. 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 then there is this: 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 Dora Cute Puppy Caring feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
