For An Apple

A strange little side quest

A quick detour while For An Apple waits for your next move: Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. It also connects to a different milestone: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of For An Apple is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
