Escaping the Prison

A strange little side quest

A small trivia drop for Escaping the Prison: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. The same trail leads to another fact: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Escaping the Prison feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
