A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Millionaire Quiz sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. The Oregon Trail began in 1971 when three student teachers created a computer simulation to help Minnesota schoolchildren learn American history. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. So a round of Millionaire Quiz is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer learning games timeline.
