A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Garfield Memory Game. Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. And then there is this: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. So a round of Garfield Memory Game is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer learning games timeline.
