A strange little side quest
One reason racing keeps producing good game ideas around Retro Garage — Car Mechanic is that its history is full of strange turns. A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: SimCity grew out of Will Wright's enjoyment of the map editor he had built for an earlier game; the act of shaping a city became the game itself. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
