A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Rowing 2 Sculls Challenge have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers. It also connects to a different milestone: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. That long chain of experiments is part of why racing still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
