Gobble Blobs

A strange little side quest

Even a quick game like Gobble Blobs sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. So a round of Gobble Blobs is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer arcade history timeline.
