A strange little side quest
Between one round of Knock Knock Traveling Soulsman and the next, this is worth knowing: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. It also connects to a different milestone: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
