A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Me and Dungeons sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. 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. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
