A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Dress Up Winter Friends is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. And the history keeps stacking up: Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That gives Dress Up Winter Friends a little more company than it first appears to have.
