A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Game of Warrior: The word 'checkmate' is linked to the Persian expression 'shah mat', used when the king was trapped. And the history keeps stacking up: Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
