A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Phil Inside - Lockdown Simulator sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That gives Phil Inside - Lockdown Simulator a little more company than it first appears to have.
