A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Ninja Fruit Slice: Gun Fight reached arcades in 1975 and became the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. That long chain of experiments is part of why action games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
