A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Pixel Survivors sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. And the history keeps stacking up: By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
