A strange little side quest
Between one round of Drop Stack Ball and the next, this is worth knowing: Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. That gives Drop Stack Ball a little more company than it first appears to have.
