A strange little side quest
Revativity SHMUP has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 with a character called Jumpman, who would later become one of gaming's most recognizable figures: Mario. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Revativity SHMUP feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
