A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Evil Nun: School's Out have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. The same trail leads to another fact: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
