A strange little side quest
Put Medieval VS Aliens next to the history of archery and a few unexpected connections appear. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
