A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Ice Girl Rescue is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of Ice Girl Rescue is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer archery timeline.
