A strange little side quest
A little context makes Obby Blox more fun to place on the gaming map. Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. That long chain of experiments is part of why platform games still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
