A strange little side quest
Police belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. 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. That gives Police a little more company than it first appears to have.
