A strange little side quest
If Karrion Killer sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Boxing was part of the ancient Olympic Games by 688 BC, long before gloves, weight classes, or timed rounds existed in anything like their modern form. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
