A strange little side quest
A little context makes Pixel Crisis more fun to place on the gaming map. Gun Fight reached arcades in 1975 and became the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That is only half the story. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Pixel Crisis feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
