A strange little side quest
One reason space keeps producing good game ideas around Electronic Popit is that its history is full of strange turns. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a cloud of gas and dust collapsing under gravity. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. That long chain of experiments is part of why space still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
