A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Princess Kitty Care sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. During much of the 19th century in the United States, visibly painted cosmetics became socially unacceptable even though beauty practices never disappeared. That is only half the story. Computer Space reached arcades in 1971 and became one of the earliest commercial electronic arcade games, even though its controls proved demanding for many players. So a round of Princess Kitty Care is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
