A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Lexi Summer Festival. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Lexi Summer Festival feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
