A strange little side quest
Put Megaman X Virus Mission next to the history of combat sports and a few unexpected connections appear. 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 also connects to a different milestone: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That gives Megaman X Virus Mission a little more company than it first appears to have.
