A strange little side quest
Neon Snake io may feel immediate, but the ideas around arcade history have been evolving for a very long time. Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. That is only half the story. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. So a round of Neon Snake io is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer arcade history timeline.
