A strange little side quest
Put Night Market Tycoon next to the history of simulation games and a few unexpected connections appear. The Oregon Trail mixed travel, supplies, risk and survival decisions decades before resource-management systems became common in mainstream games. It also connects to a different milestone: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
