A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Mavy the Fish Mom waits for your next move: The Oregon Trail mixed travel, supplies, risk and survival decisions decades before resource-management systems became common in mainstream games. The same trail leads to another fact: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. So a round of Mavy the Fish Mom is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer simulation games timeline.
