A strange little side quest
A little context makes Mechanoid Menace more fun to place on the gaming map. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. And then there is this: Boxing was part of the ancient Olympic Games by 688 BC, long before gloves, weight classes, or timed rounds existed in anything like their modern form. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
