FNF: Shucks v2

A strange little side quest

Before the next round of FNF: Shucks v2, here is a piece of the bigger picture. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is only half the story. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
