A strange little side quest
Meal Masters has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Cone-shaped wafers with cream were described in print before 1900, but the ice-cream cone became a major American fairground hit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. It also connects to a different milestone: M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. So a round of Meal Masters is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer food history timeline.
