A strange little side quest
Between one round of Holiday at the Seaside and the next, this is worth knowing: By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. A second detail makes the picture even better: Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Holiday at the Seaside feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
