A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Guns and Steel: The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
