A strange little side quest
Before the next round of Emojy Defence 2 World, here is a piece of the bigger picture. The word 'checkmate' is linked to the Persian expression 'shah mat', used when the king was trapped. And then there is this: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Emojy Defence 2 World feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
