A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Left or Right: Women Fashions is anything but tiny. Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play. And the history keeps stacking up: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. So a round of Left or Right: Women Fashions is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
