Roll & Merge 3D

A strange little side quest

Even a quick game like Roll & Merge 3D sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. And the history keeps stacking up: Street Fighter II, released in 1991, turned head-to-head arcade fighting into a worldwide phenomenon and helped define the modern fighting-game genre. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
