A strange little side quest
Between one round of Fancy Pants Adventure: World and the next, this is worth knowing: Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. And the history keeps stacking up: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That gives Fancy Pants Adventure: World a little more company than it first appears to have.
