A strange little side quest
Zoom out from PoBK: Jumping Zombie! for a moment and the timeline gets surprisingly deep. Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. 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. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
