A strange little side quest
The next time Friday Night Funkin vs Hornet asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
