A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Egg and Hotdogs is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. Electric refrigeration reached the American mass market in the late 1920s, changing how households stored food and even how desserts such as ice cream could be made at home. And the history keeps stacking up: M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
