A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Princess Hair Treatment is anything but tiny. In 18th-century America, upper-class men as well as women wore make-up, a reminder that beauty customs have never been as fixed as they can seem. It also connects to a different milestone: 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 Princess Hair Treatment feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
