Naruto NG

A strange little side quest

Even a quick game like Naruto NG sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Boxing entered the modern Olympic Games in 1904 at St. Louis. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
