A strange little side quest
A little context makes Princesses Homecoming Ball more fun to place on the gaming map.

Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. So a round of Princesses Homecoming Ball is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
