A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Ragdoll Playground Break Him is anything but tiny. M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That gives Ragdoll Playground Break Him a little more company than it first appears to have.
