A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Mush-Mush and the Mushables Forest Rush! sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. A second detail makes the picture even better: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
