A strange little side quest
The next time My Dolphin Show asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. Men's basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women's basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
