Flash Crisis

A strange little side quest

The mechanics around Flash Crisis have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. The same trail leads to another fact: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Flash Crisis feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
