A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Eliza's Wedding Planner sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Eliza's Wedding Planner feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
