A strange little side quest
Fire belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. So a round of Fire is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
