A strange little side quest
Fun Shooter has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
