A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Princesses Puppy Care waits for your next move: Barbie Fashion Designer became a major software hit in 1996, selling more than 500,000 copies in two months and proving there was a large audience for fashion-focused computer play. That is only half the story. Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Princesses Puppy Care feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
