During much of the 19th century in the United States, visibly painted cosmetics became socially unacceptable even though beauty practices never disappeared. And then there is this: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
