A strange little side quest
Put Dungeon of Curse next to the history of platform games and a few unexpected connections appear. Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Women's boxing made its Olympic debut at London 2012. That long chain of experiments is part of why platform games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
