Noughts and Crosses Christmas

A strange little side quest

A small trivia drop for Noughts and Crosses Christmas: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. The same trail leads to another fact: Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. That long chain of experiments is part of why arcade history still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
