Egg Boy

A strange little side quest

Between one round of Egg Boy and the next, this is worth knowing: Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. It also connects to a different milestone: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. So a round of Egg Boy is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer action games timeline.
