A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Rose's Riddle. The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. The same trail leads to another fact: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
