A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Jetpack Escape is anything but tiny. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That gives Jetpack Escape a little more company than it first appears to have.
