Garuda Air Force

A strange little side quest

Before the next round of Garuda Air Force, here is a piece of the bigger picture. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. That is only half the story. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
