A strange little side quest
Grombi trivia break for Kings Island: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. That long chain of experiments is part of why role-playing games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
