A strange little side quest
One reason racing keeps producing good game ideas around Flappy is that its history is full of strange turns. A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. It also connects to a different milestone: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That long chain of experiments is part of why racing still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
